A master's degree is a postgraduate academic degree. One must already have an undergraduate degree to apply for a master's program. Most master's degree program would require students to complete a master's thesis or research paper.
A bridging of the disciplines of science and technology, mining engineering can be seen as the study of the processes used in the extraction of Earth minerals; therefore, current engineers, or future students with an interest in geology, may find the study of mining engineering both fascinating and potentially lucrative.
