Welcome
The Mining Engineering program in the Department of Mining & Geological Engineering
was one of the first degree programs
at the University of Alaska Fairbanks when
it was established in 1917. Over the decades,
the Mining Engineering program has
provided many quality mining engineers
for the mining industry in Alaska and the
world.
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 specializations in exploration, mining or mineral beneficiation.
The program offers degrees at the baccalaureate
and masters levels. Students interested in
pursuing a doctoral degree can enroll in the
interdisciplinary Ph.D. program.
The mining department offers small class lectures
by first-rate faculty and provides
hands-on laboratory and field practices
through modern laboratory facilities and
an experimental mine.
