Graduate Course Work

The following table lists courses recommended to students in economic geology. To broaden their appreciation of mineral deposits geology and its role in society, graduate students supplement their graduate coursework in geology with offerings in mining engineering, economics and business, geophysics, and metallurgical and materials engineering. Course descriptions are listed in the CSM Graduate Catalog.
