Masters of Managment in Energy at Tulane (MME)?

What have you guys heard about this? I'm a senior in Finance at LSU right now, looking to do my masters at LSU, and then possibly do this program at Tulane the following year.
From the website:
"The Tulane MME program is for college graduates with quantitative backgrounds who are seeking specialized industry knowledge in preparation for fast-track careers in energy. In this 10-month, full-time program, you’ll acquire the knowledge and skills you need to hit the ground running at energy companies, utilities, banks, financial services and consulting firms, trading organizations, ISOs, and regulatory agencies."
I have heard some positive things about the program, have any of you heard about this? Seems interesting especially for the field that I want to go into. Thanks.

Looks like this would train you to go into industry as an energy broker. The folks that do this at my company seem to like it...seems to be a pretty good job, if you like that kind of thing.
Basically a balancing act between having enough energy delivered the right spot to supply your end users while not buying too much to be used on any given day.

I looked into it after graduated from LSU in PETE. Decided to go back to my home state and study industrial engineering to save money. Worked out for me. It'll be real expensive without any schollies, you might be better off trying to find a job around the energy industry instead. You're a finance major though, should be able to make good decisions regarding future income.

I did the energy program at Tulane. Quant heavy and will legit set you up for an energy finance/Trading career.
I’m a natural gas trader and don’t think I would be doing this without that program.
Eta: feel free to ask me anything or We can exchange emails if you want to chat more about it.

Thanks for the response! Was looking into becoming an energy trader actually. I have a ton of questions and would love to exchange emails.

I was planning on going with my buddy (Petro engineering undergrad) but I decided to get into industrial contracting and he went on to the program. Very labor intensive - you won’t have time to do much of anything besides schoolwork. He got a job as an analyst at Sunoco up in Philly and was moved to scheduling in less than a year. It appears they think very highly of him. Good program. You will learn a ton of valuable information if you plan to be an energy trader

You schedule first? Phys or spec?
Posted on 2/19/18 at 10:10 pm to FunroePete
Yes. I scheduled the NE, SE, Midcontinent and Rockies. I trade the West now. (Physical and financial)

My bank has recruited from the program. I'm very familiar with it and took some of the courses as an undergrad at Tulane. Biggest downside is it's not cheap. Job ops are wide ranging: energy trading, investment banking, accounting roles at E&P firms, plus others. I'm happy to shoot you a note.

I know a few folks who have done this, all seemed to have liked it. I work in the oil and gas industry and my company has recruited from the program (despite Tulane in general not being viewed very favorable).
If it was around when I was getting out of undergrad I probably would've looked at doing it but I was a few years to early. I can't speak to the cost of it, but from talking with the folks I know the quality of life seems a lot better than it does getting an MBA or JD.
I'd probably look at doing it before doing a MBA or MSF just to see what kind of job bites I get.

Don't do both that and a Masters at LSU. You'd be wasting your time in doing both.

Well I’d be doing this starting the summer of 2019. And I graduate this May. I figured I’d have to have something to kill the time between then

Why is Tulane not viewed favorably?
