Our students and researchers are critical in moving the mining industry forward to meet the global economy and rapidly evolving technology. Working closely with industry partners, our faculty and students work to improve mining operations’ efficiency, sustainability, safety, and cost.

Our graduate programs are designed to produce engineers and specialists qualified to assess, design, and operate underground and open-pit mines, develop and operate complex processing plants, and evaluate and maintain the mechanical equipment used in mining or processing facilities. In addition, our graduate programs focus on the broader field of excavation and processing of ore to obtain the mineral products our society relies on.
