Description:
The Operations Research program at CSM is the most relentlessly applied operations management program in the world. In order to graduate from this program, each student must do at least one applied project, for free, for a company or agency. The project must be used, and generate verified measurable benefit to the sponsor. As of this date, our graduates have created verified savings to companies and agencies in excess of $264 million.

Degree(s):
MS-Mineral Economics;

PhD-Mineral Economics

Description:
The Engineering Systems program offers a graduate multidisciplinary education that is at the intersections of the traditional engineering disciplines. The Engineering Division's faculty represents Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, as well as Engineering Science, with much of the research occurring at these intersections. The program demands academic rigor and depth, yet also addresses the real-world problems of advanced engineering and technology. The choice of research topics and course offerings prepares graduates for a range of industrial or academic careers. The degree programs offered by this department have been admitted to the Western Regional Graduate Program. This allows students who reside in Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming to enroll at Colorado resident tuition rates.

Degree(s):
ME-Engineering Systems; MS-Engineering Systems
PhD-Engineering Systems

Description:
The ESE Division offers a multidisciplinary environmental science and engineering program. Graduate students in the program come from diverse academic backgrounds in such fields as life sciences, earth sciences, chemistry, and many engineering disciplines. The Division's faculty are equally interdisciplinary in their research interests, and they teach basic as well as applied science and engineering. The ESE curriculum integrates science and engineering within existing legal, economic, and regulatory constraints and prepares students to find creative solutions to diverse environmental challenges.

Degree(s):
MS-Environmental Science and Engineering
PhD-Environmental Science and Engineering

Research Areas:
Research is focused in four main areas: characterization, fate, and transport of contaminants; development of unit processes for water and waste treatment;environmental remediation;applied ecology, hydrology, and natural systems characterization;Within these areas, established research programs have developed in the physical/chemical processes controlling non-aqueous phase liguid (NAPL) transport; the biological treatment of metal- and radionuclide-containing wastes;environmental chemistry;in situ remediation of soil and groundwater systems;evaluating the role of wetlands in regulating the water quality of watersheds;analyzing hydrologic systems; modeling environmental systems (water resources and water quality)

Description:
The objective of the certificate programs is to provide research and analytical skills in the national and supranational relationships between the state and the market, the ramifications of economic policies on sociopolitical development, and the consequences of sociopolitical and environmental policies on economic and cultural transformations. The IPE track will emphasize the macro dimensions of the role of the state and the market in the international political economy of development, trade, investment, and finance with a specific country or region focus. The IPER Program will specialize in the role of a specific natural resource sector in interstate relations and global contexts of trade, finance, investment, technology transfer, and environmental concerns. There are four clusters of fields in which the student can specialize: International Political Economy of a Region; Economic and Political Geography of World Resources; Global Environmental Policy; and International Political Risk Assessment and Mitigation.

Degree(s):
Graduate Certificate in International Political Economy;
Graduate Certificate in International Political Economy of Resources

Research Areas:
International political economy of development of a specific region or a country/countries;Trade and investment;Region-markets and region-states;International and multilateral governmental and nongovernmental organizations;Economic and political geography of resources;Global environmental policy and country-specific or region-specific environmental policy making and implementation;International political risk assessment and mitigation with a specific country, countries, or region.

Description:
From its inception, the ChE Department has focused on education and basic and applied research aimed at problems of national interest. At Mines, we believe that an important component of the graduate program is the personal relationship that develops between the faculty and students, hence we strive to maintain a high quality research and graduate education program. The student to faculty ratio of 4:1 facilitates the development of this mentoring relationship.
