Degree information
On this page you will find information and resources to help you enter into a Mining Engineering or Mineral Preparation graduate degree. You can also find info to help you find a student job or a career.
M. S. Mineral Preparation
The mineral preparation engineering program offers specialization in the processes used to concentrate target minerals and remove undesirable material from mined ore. Interdisciplinary study of chemistry, physics, the geological sciences and engineering are integrated to allow the characterization, separation, agglomeration, extraction and handling of mineral particles.
Since large quantities of solid waste and process water are often produced as a result of mineral extraction, pollution control technology is also an important aspect of mineral preparation.
M. S. Mining Engineering
The mining engineering program emphasizes engineering as it applies to the exploration and development of mineral resources and upon the economics of the business of mining. The program offers specialization in exploration, mining or mineral beneficiation.
