Online Graduate Certificate Explosives Technology Mining and Explosives Engineering

About the Certificate

This certificate program is designed to provide formalized education in the area of explosives. Students will be exposed to the theoretical and practical approaches of explosives technology. Students will learn analysis and design of explosive-related systems and both natural and built structure effects.

The explosives technology certificate program is open to all graduates holding a BA, or advanced higher degree that has a mathematics background through trigonometry (Missouri S&T Math 6 or equivalent) and a minimum of 12-months of post-BA professional employment experience.

The student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in the four courses required for this graduate certificate. Students admitted to a graduate certificate program will have non-degree student status, but will earn graduate credit for the courses they complete. If the four-course sequence is completed with a grade of B or better in each of the courses taken, the student, upon application, will be admitted to the MS degree in explosives engineering, but will be precluded from taking any graduate courses until successful completion of the following prerequisite courses:

  1. S&T Chem 1310 (1) General Chemistry 1 (or equivalent)
  2. S&T Chem 1319 (2) General Chemistry 1 Lab (or equivalent)
  3. S&T Chem 1100 (4) Intro to Lab Safety & Hazardous Materials (or equivalent)
  4. S&T Math 1214 (14) Calculus for Engineers 1 (or equivalent)
