Starting in the 1998-99 academic year, the UT Department
of Finance offered the first MBA concentration in energy finance. The
cornerstone of this academic program is a newly-designed six-hour course sequence on the
foundations of energy finance, addressing topics in the areas of asset
valuation, corporate finance, and financial risk management. This course
sequence is restricted and requires advanced approval for enrollment (based on
program applications), and is held Mondays and Wednesdays in fall semester. Prerequisite
courses are: BA 385T (Financial Management core MBA course), FIN 397.1
(Investment Theory), and FIN 394.1 (Advanced Corporate Finance). This six-hour course is team-taught by two leading faculty in the UT Department of Finance,
Professors Ehud
Ronn, and Sheridan
Titman. An important part of the students’ learning in the course
includes presentations by key energy professionals. Students in this
concentration also participate in professional seminars on the “physical”
side of the energy business to provide background on topics such as energy
exploration, production, and distribution. MBA students graduating from this concentration will be
better prepared to work in financial analysis, valuation, and trading positions
with major oil and gas exploration, production, and distribution companies (such
as El Paso and ConocoPhillips), energy trading firms
(such as Mirant and Williams), power companies (such as Reliant
Energy, Cinergy, and Duke Energy)
as well as leading investment banking and financial services firms working in
the energy industry. The program is supported by the Center
for Energy Finance Education and Research. The Center supports
curriculum development and faculty research in the Department of Finance. For additional information concerning the energy finance
program, please contact Dr.
Ehud Ronn.
