Explosives Engineering

The M.S. program requires a minimum of 30 hours of graduate credit. The program requires students to take four core courses and encourages students to take related courses outside explosives engineering.

Degree Requirements

M.S. with thesis: The M.S. degree with thesis requires the completion of 24 hours of graduate course work and six hours of research (EXP ENG 6099) and the successful completion and defense of a research thesis. Four of the following core courses are required of all M.S. students in explosives engineering:

Students select 12 hours of ExpE and other appropriate elective courses. M.S. in explosives engineering candidates are advised to group out-of-department courses into a module that fits their special interest.

M.S. without thesis (by coursework): The M.S. degree without thesis requires the completion of 30 hours of graduate coursework with the same stipulations as above. The six hours of research is replaced by course work which may include an explosives related cooperative work experience (EXP ENG 6070) or industry project (EXP ENG 6080) with an established company or government agency commonly using explosives and an additional explosives course.
