Mining and Minerals Education, Reimagined.
We're shaping the future of mining and mineral resources to meet the critical needs of generations to come.
Not your typical university experience.
What does outer space have to do with mining? A lot. In remote caves deep underground where it's too dangerous to send humans, remote operated vehicles are perfect for the job. Not unlike what UArizona helped develop for NASA to explore Mars. Today we're building on that knowledge in mining exploration.
That's just one example of how we're breaking through the traditional disciplinary silos in university education and taking an untraditional approach. Simply put, our goal is to equip students with broader, more sophisticated knowledge and skills required of the workforce of the future today.
We've developed innovative curriculum to meet the needs of a rapidly advancing industry, and we leverage the best subject matter experts wherever they are in the world. We embed experiential learning opportunities for students alongside world-class industry partners to make sure your knowledge transfers to real-world situations.
In short, we're transforming mineral resource education to keep pace with a fast-changing world. Our goal is nothing less than to be the premier provider of mining and mineral resource talent on the planet.
Re-envisioning mining for a better future.
Located in the heart of mining country.
With world-class ore deposits, operating mines and technology companies, the rich mineral ecosystem of Southern Arizona provides unparalleled partnership opportunities for real-world learning and research.
A Tier 1 research university with globally-ranked programs in mining engineering and economic geology, we're located in the "Silicon Valley of Mining," surrounded by four of the five largest copper mines in the United States, numerous mining technology companies, and top mineral research institutions.
As a designated Hispanic Serving Institution located in Tucson, Arizona, a gateway to Latin America, UArizona is uniquely positioned to develop the mining and geological science workforce of the future, today.
We're new, with 100+ years of experience.
With mining history dating back to 1884, the University of Arizona offers what no other university can: top-ranked mining engineering and economic geology programs, industry-leading research, and proximity to world-class mines and ore deposits.
We aim to be the world's leading producer of mining engineering and geosciences talent, to help ensure a sustainable future.
Greater than the sum of our parts.
We use the word "transdisciplinary" a lot, so we'd better be clear about what we mean. Oxford defines it as, relating to more than one branch of knowledge. We define a transdisciplinary education as an innovative, experiential learning approach that encompasses both academic curriculum and industry-critical skills and research opportunities.
