Tulane MME (Master of Management in Energy)
Posted on 7/17/18 at 11:55 am

Just graduated from LSU in May, and I think i want to pursue an MME from Tulane next summer. Does anyone here have any insight on the program? Also, I'm going to try and get an internship for the fall, any advice on companies that would prepare me for a job in energy investing?

You should have been applying months ago if you wanted an internship for the fall. Most are handed out at least 2 months in advance

I’d get experience first. So go to midland for a couple years.

planned on doing it myself, but pussed out.

What is your degree in? I agree with the other poster on it being a little late to look for fall internships. If you're interested in the finance side look at Tudor Pickering Holt or something like it. Tons of private equity shops out there too. All will be difficult to get your foot in the door without a strong resume and a bit of pedigree.

You are an attorney, right?

no sir, I worked in Houston doing SCADA/DCS cybersecurity for a while, then came back to BR to work for a big industrial contractor
i was deliberating between law school and the MME program, and I somehow ended up in construction. life is strange

Not sure why I thought you were a lawyer.
I came from construction to law and now 90% of my practice is construction related issues in Louisiana and Texas.
This MME sounds cool.

My degree is in finance. I'm hoping to go in to energy research and possibly trading.

While I agree, TPH is really a first tier firm in Houston. Almost as exclusive with their hires as the bulge brackets.
As for the MME, I knew some guys in the program. They got generally good offers. One guy is scheduling for Next Era in Florida, one got a Citi offer in Houston, some stayed in New Orleans with Laitram or Entergy. Stan Ellington is one of the professors there. Older guy who worked in banking for probably 30 years. Probably a good guy to reach out to.

I graduated the program May 2017 and it was definitely just about all it was cracked up to be. I recommend committing to the program if you are interested in one of three paths: Inv Banking, equity analysis, or commodity trading. My undergrad at LSU was in P.E. so I had little/no finance background, but my technical skills and foundational knowledge of the field allowed me to catch on rather quickly. It really is all you want to put into it. There are a ton of Chinese students who come to the program, pay 1.5/2x tuition, and don't gaf. If you think you might halfarse it, don't waste your money. But if you are serious about putting in the time and sucking every resource out of the 10 months, then definitely do it. They do a great job of trying to put you in front of as many big firms (P66, BP, Accenture, countless banks, etc) as they can ... it ultimately comes down to how hard you want to grind.

Sounds pretty legit. What kind of jobs are grads getting? Are they usually in Houston or somewhere like New York?

This sounds like something I would enjoy and kind of the direction I want to head in with my career (currently in finance with a oilfield equipment manufacture). Looking at University of Oklahoma's EMBA in Energy. Mostly online with 3 weeks of residencies, 2 on campus and 1 study abroad.

I think the majority is in Houston, with New Orleans being the second largest city.
I believe someone went to do equity research for Johnson Rice in New Orleans, as well.

I know several people that have gone through the program and went on to work in energy trading, investment banking, equity research, and corp dev. I also know others that half assed the class and couldn’t find a job. So if you’re dead set on energy finance then go for it. Tuition ain’t cheap either.
Job prospects are mainly in Houston followed by New Orleans. Also know a few that got opportunities in NY.
FYI my investment bank in Houston recruits from the program

I had a family member who worked for Howard Weil in NOLA, and I've talked to a few guys at Johnson and Rice and they've all agreed with your point that the mme program is great for an energy finance career. It's something I've always wanted to do, so I'm going to go for it.

Overall, I think this is a great program but ftr I know of several people in the most recent graduating MME class who struggled/are still struggling to find jobs. I just graduated from one of the business masters program at Tulane and I do agree it’s what you put in to it. Hustle from the beginning and network with as many recruiters, alumni, and professors as possible. Tulane gives you plenty of opportunity but you have to go out and get it.
Edited to add:
Tulane is not cheap, so utilize every resource they have.

Thanks for the advice. That is what I plan to do.

Wanted to update this after looking into the Energy focused masters programs.
I just applied to the EMBA in Energy program at the University of Oklahoma
