University Studies Program
This degree requires that The University Studies Program 2015 requirements are met before graduation. Some of the courses required for this major fulfill USP requirements, but not all. Students should check their degree evaluations and consult with their assigned academic advisor to discuss their specific course plan.
Professional Land Management (PLM)
- Students accepted by UW College of Law (COL) into the 3+3 program begin taking classes at COL in what would otherwise be their senior year. Year one of law school (31 credits) counts toward both the BS in ERMD and the JD degrees. Students must select one path for Years 1-3, either Energy and Environmental Systems or Professional Land Management. Following are the requirements for PLM 3+3.
- Professional Land Management majors determine ownership and title of surface and subsurface rights, negotiate leases between owners and energy developers, ensure federal and state regulatory compliance in energy development, and negotiate and maintain company contractual obligations for development and the subsequent profits.
- Students will complete a minimum of 85-95 credits in their baccalaureate (undergraduate) program by the end of their junior year (including required general education and major courses). Students will complete 90 credits with the College of Law. Students will be granted a BS upon completion of the 120 credit hours required for the undergraduate degree in BS-ERMD (using year one of College of Law coursework), with a cumulative minimum UW GPA of 2.0 or higher. Students must complete 42 hours of upper-division (3000-level or above) coursework, 30 of which must be from the University of Wyoming. During the Energy Resource Management and Development program (years 1-3), students will be advised by the School of Energy Resources advisor. During the College of Law program (years 4-6), students will receive advising from the College of Law.
