All students holding an undergraduate degree in mining engineering are encouraged to apply. Applications are considered throughout the year but should be submitted as early as possible. The Graduate School requires applicants to have an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 (out of possible 4.0), based on all undergraduate work or work completed during the last two years of study, whichever is higher. The Mining Engineering Department requires references from three former professors, submitted on forms available from the Department (available in Adobe Acrobat format ). Students with degrees from institutions other than the University of Utah must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test results. A minimum score of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of students whose first language is not English. Please submit the Department Information Sheet (available in Adobe Acrobat format ) before completing the Admissions Office forms. This will expedite your application process. Include test results (GRE/TOEFL) on form!
Degrees Offered
Master of Engineering
The University of Utah has one of the few programs in the West offering a Master of Engineering (M.E.) degree, as well as the Master of Science (M.S.) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. The M.E. is a non-thesis masters program especially suitable for mining engineers who wish to augment their technical knowledge. This is a terminal degree and does not qualify for continuing for the Ph.D.
Master of Science
Must meet Graduate School and Department requirements as outlined in the University of Utah General Bulletin and the Graduate School Bulletin. An individual program of study is designed for each student, providing an interdisciplinary program that is rigorous and challenging. Requires a research thesis.
Doctor of Philosophy
Must meet Graduate School and Department requirements as outlined in the University of Utah General Bulletin and the Graduate School Bulletin. An individual program of study is designed for each student, providing an interdisciplinary program that is rigorous and challenging. Requires scholarly research and dissertation.
Areas of Research
Instruction and research are available in the following areas: rock mechanics, numerical and physical modeling, geotechnical instrumentation, methane drainage, computer applications, ore reserve estimation, mine automation and mine/mill integration, surface and underground mining methods (metal, coal and industrial minerals)
