Master
of Mining Engineering (MS)
School of Science
and Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Master of Mining Engineering (MS)
program objective is to help students further
widen their knowledge as it applies to the
exploration and development of mineral resources
and upon the economics of the business of
mining. The Master of Mining Engineering
(MS) program is offered online via distance
learning. After evaluating both academic
record and life experience, AIU staff working
in conjunction with Faculty and Academic
Advisors will assist students in setting
up a custom-made program, designed on an
individual basis. This flexibility to meet
student needs is seldom found in other distance
learning programs. Our online program does
not require all students to take the same
subjects/courses, use the same books, or
learning materials. Instead, the online
Master of Mining Engineering (MS) curriculum
is designed individually by the student
and academic advisor. It specifically addresses
strengths and weaknesses with respect to
market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Career
Center Master of Mining Engineering
Job Description
Master of Mining Engineering
Mining activities by their nature cause
a disturbance of the environment in and
around which the minerals are located. Modern
mining engineers must therefore be concerned
not only with the production and processing
of mineral commodities, but also with the
mitigation of damage or to the environment
as a result of that production and processing.
