Benefits of on IS Degree
The School of Interdisciplinary Studies helped me with my array of interests and needs to obtain a job in the oil and gas industry. Many Landmen have an Energy Management Degree, but I was able to put together a course load in both management and natural sciences that helped me gain a better technical understanding of the industry I was entering.
Interests I enjoy golf, running, skiing, and soccer. I am an active parishioner of Christ the King Catholic Church in Highland Park, Texas.
