Career opportunities
Energy Land Management has a 100 percent job and graduate school placement rate. Graduates often go on to become professional landmen, lease analysts, title analysts, lease negotiators, energy permit professionals, division order analysts or registered professional landmen (RPL). To become a RPL, a test is required after only one year of working in the field (as opposed to five years of required field work if students graduate from a non-accredited program).
In addition to finding job placement in the energy industry, graduates have been successful in non-energy related fields, and some graduates have gone on to earn their MBA or have been accepted to law school.
