MS Explosives Engineering

The explosives engineering program in the department of mining and nuclear engineering offers the master of science (M.S.) and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees and a minor and certificate in explosives engineering for students with bachelor s degrees in engineering, science or technology. It also offers an explosives technology certificate for those with other bachelor's degrees. Due to the age profile of the explosives industry and attrition of personnel, as well as the rapid change in technology within this field, there is an immediate and growing need for highly trained explosives professionals in both the civilian explosive, mining and civil excavating fields, government and defense industry.
