The minimum number of credits for the degree is 136, exclusive of Engl 101 and mathematics courses numbered lower than Math 170. Programs Candidates must fulfill the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies and of the Department of Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. See the College of Graduate Studies section of part 4 for the general requirements applicable to each degree. Master of Science. General M.S. requirements apply.
Majors are available in mining engineering and in metallurgical engineering.
As a preparation for admission to either degree program the candidate should have the equivalent undergraduate degree or a B.S. degree in engineering with extra study in mining, metallurgy, and geology. Special programs can be developed from almost any basic degree in which deficiencies in the engineering and mining industry studies are removed by undergraduate or special studies.
