The department maintains well-equipped laboratories for research in a wide variety of mining, geological, and geophysical engineering fields. Ancillary laboratories support research in mine ventilation, mine health and safety, mine operations, water-jet technology, and computer simulations and analysis. Computer labs are networked with UNIX and NT workstations for imaging systems, which provide extensive capabilities in computational intelligence and visualization labs. Financial Aid Financial assistance is available through fellowships, scholarships, and teaching or research assistantships. Additional summer support is available for most research assistantships.
Tuition is waived for students who hold a teaching or research assistantship.
Graduate assistants are exempt from paying tuition. This essential material has been excerpted from a current Peterson's print publication.
