Mining operations require specialized expertise, combining scientific understanding with the use of cutting-edge technological tools. Engineers who master both operational and computational systems that influence daily excavation activities can deliver substantial benefits to their companies. Those who additionally optimize production processes for cost-effectiveness become exceptionally valuable team members. As a participant in the Graduate Certificate in Mine Production and Information Technology program, you'll engage with advanced curriculum covering the operational frameworks that power productive mining operations globally.
For those looking to enhance their skills in identifying (or developing) optimal solutions and implementing them successfully, this program supports your professional aspirations. Developed and instructed by mining industry experts and distinguished University of Arizona faculty, the curriculum provides in-depth study of applications, software, and innovative technologies that transform daily production workflows. The program thoroughly investigates technologies for environmental monitoring, data management, and statistical pattern recognition.
You'll also have chances to gain practical experience with various systems while learning about systems engineering methodologies, equipping you to develop customized platforms for diverse scenarios. After completing the program, you'll be prepared to apply these concepts to design and oversee major earth-moving operations, evaluate financial aspects of operational workflows, and utilize modeling data to enhance efficiency.
Should you choose to continue your education, all credits from this certificate program can be applied toward the Master of Engineering in Mining and Geological Engineering degree.

Qualification Requirements
Standardized Tests
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.
Minimum TOEFL: 550-paper based (PB) or 79-internet based (iBT) (FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ONLY)
Minimum IELTS: composite score of 7 (no subject area below 6). (FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ONLY)
Applicants who apply for admission to the Graduate College are evaluated on the individual merits of their academic achievements and scholarly potential to complete graduate-level coursework and curriculum requirements. A minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 2.75 based on a 4.00 scale, is required for admission to a Graduate College Certificate program.
Twelve or more graded units obtained as a graduate student
Applicant's undergraduate record comprised of their most recent 60 graded units
Or a combination of the last 60 units of undergraduate and graduate coursework (2 year, full-time equivalent for non-US or non-semester type credit hours) when fewer than twelve units of graduate coursework have been completed
On very rare and exceptional circumstances will a student be accepted through the graduate college with a GPA below a 2.75
Prospective students holding a comparable bachelor's degree but not meeting the minimum 2.75 GPA requirement may still be eligible for admission as a Graduate Non-Degree seeking student.
Required application materials are:
Personal Statement
Resume
One letter of recommendation
Transcripts from all universities/colleges attended (Official transcripts will be required once admitted)
English Proficiency Exam Scores (For international applicants only)
Students who DO NOT meet the minimum 2.75 GPA requirement with their undergraduate coursework may choose to satisfy their Graduate College minimum GPA requirement while in graduate Non-Degree Status. Students who complete 12 semester units of non-degree graded (A,B,C) 500 level or higher coursework with a minimum grade-point average of 2.75 are eligible to apply to a certificate program. Once students have received 12 or more graduate units, the graduate GPA will be the only GPA the Graduate College will use to finalize admission. Individual programs may still consider all coursework when making recommendation decisions for a particular degree program. Students may transfer up to twelve Non-Degree status units into their desired degree program with the approval of their program and the Graduate College Degree Certification office.
