Master of Science in Mining Engineering

Missouri University of Science and Technology

The mining engineering program in the department of mining & explosives engineering offers the graduate certificate, master of engineering (M.E.), master of science (M.S.), doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) and doctor of engineering (D.E.) degrees in mining engineering. The M.S. with thesis and Ph.D.degrees require research components for program completion. The core research strengths include surface mining methods and heavy mining machinery, mine ventilation and mine atmospheric control, explosives engineering, sustainable development and mine optimization, rock mechanics and ground control, minerals, coal and materials processing, minerals and energy economics, and underground mining methods and equipment. Graduate students in any of these programs must consult the graduate degree requirements in mining engineering, the graduate catalog of Missouri S&T and their respective advisors.Missouri S&T’s M.S. degree in mining engineering provides advanced technical training to prepare you for challenging opportunities in mining engineering and leadership roles.Whether you pursue a thesis-based or non-thesis master’s degree, you will learn from experts and leaders in mining, interact with some of the brightest mining professionals, and enhance your technical and leadership skills.
