UT Permian Basin - MS Finance or MS Energy Business

[bradm31]

My Bachelors is a BAAS, so definitely need a Masters. Generally, I would like to get into the O&G in Finance. As far as the finance classes go, basically everything except Management of Financial Institutions is in the Energy Business degree, but would Energy Business make me too niche? I'd like to get into O&G but in the event it isn't working out for a while, I'll want to just get a job in any Finance role.  Edit: I live in San Antonio, TX so close to all major Oil industries. 

Here are the Degree reqs and underlined what I'd focus on.
