Post-Baccalaureate Certificates
Post-Baccalaureate Certificates (PBC) are available in three areas.
- Rock Mechanics
- Mine Health & Safety
- Mine Information and Production Technology
Program Details
 Each PBC program requires 15 units of graduate coursework with a grade
of B or better. All courses are available via distance learning. Each course
is the same as those offered to residential MS and PhD students, and is taught
by professional faculty members and industry executives.
To be admitted to the PBC program, candidates should have
two years of progressively responsible professional experience, preferably
in a field related to the specific option selected for study.
No GRE exam is required for
admission to the program. Applicants who do not have a degree from
an English-speaking university must complete the TOEFL (or equivalent)
to demonstrate proficiency in English.
Enrollment is limited to graduates of accredited engineering bachelors
programs and other similar degrees (i.e., biology, chemistry, geology,
industrial hygiene, physics, MIS, etc.) with a 3.0 GPA or higher.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have completed the necessary
prerequisites for a specific course.
Upon successful completion of the PBC program, the units may transfer
into a Master of Engineering degree (a time limit of 6 years applies).
Cost
PBC tuition is the same as the Master of Engineering degree.
As of Spring 2007, the rates are:
- $2078.50/3 unit course for Arizona residents,
or if your employer has a business address in Arizona
- $2492.50/3
units course for non-residents of Arizona
