distance degrees
The global mineral resources industry is facing a severe shortage of engineers. The shortage is driven in part by increased consumption of raw materials in the developing nations and also by the demographics of the industry. Hence there is demand for continuing education and post-baccalaureate education. Our distance education programs are intended for working professionals changing their duties within companies or those who need a stronger background in a particular segment of the industry. The global nature and fast pace of our industry can make it difficult to return to a college campus for graduate courses.

Lowell Master of Engineering in Mineral Resources

The J. David Lowell Master of Engineering in Mineral Resources is intended for mineral resource professionals advancing to management positions and for those from other disciplines who are entering the mineral resources industry and need professional career preparation specific to the industry. The program is modeled after distance-based executive MBA programs. The curriculum will consist of courses that teach fundamental engineering principals in mining, cutting edge research and technology advances in the industry, mine finance and management, legal topics of importance to engineering managers, and personnel management.

The program requires an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline or a related science, health, or business discipline. Prerequisites in calculus, physics, chemistry, engineering science, and geology must be satisfied prior to applying to the program. The program consists of distance-based courses that run the duration of a semester and intensive short courses that run from 2-3 days to 2 weeks. Courses are available in live interactive formats or on-demand formats

Apply to both the Graduate College for the Master of Engineering Degree (Engineering - ME) and the Master of Engineering program at the link below.
