UW's Professional Land Management program is 1 of just nine in North America accredited by the American Association of Professional Landmen. This fall, 13 students are enrolled in the program, developed in partnership with the Wyoming Association of Professional Landmen and the energy industry. Don Roth is the program's director and deputy director for academics in UW's School of Energy Resources. He says there's a tremendous demand for landmen.

  1. It can become a very interesting profession for those who are interested in it however the study can be quite difficult as it demands special knowledge and skills (don`t worry as there are best homework help websites ready to support you) Ok if you are not afraid of the hours spent at the University and at home with books and computer you should use this opportunity but what is important to know if it is possible to find job after study. But I am sure that people who really love their profession will be successful.
