Application information

Entry requirements

Applicants for the Ph.D. degree must have an M.S. degree, including a thesis. Admission is based on recommendation and approval by departmental faculty. Continuance is based upon successful completion of a qualifying examination as well as classroom and research performance. An individual program is planned for each candidate with the assistance and approval of the supervisory committee. Courses required for a B.S. degree in mining engineering cannot be counted toward a graduate degree in this major. Planned course work, transfer credit, and proposed research must be approved by the student's supervisory committee. Graduates in engineering, mathematics, and the physical sciences are invited to direct letters of application to the department chair.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate applicants must meet the application deadlines and academic standards set by their academic department or programme; entry terms are set by each programme.

Graduate deadlines are set by each academic programme. The non-refundable graduate application fee is $55 for domestic applicants and $65 for international applicants.
