What is Mines Online?


 

Mines Online is engineering what’s next for online STEM education. It differs from its peers by focusing on the intentional processes (see top graphic on right), to curate rigorous and meaningful coursework that furthers graduates’ understanding, skills and network to advance into uncharted territories.

Every element of a Mines Online education is designed to prepare our students for what’s next in their lives and careers. It’s a purposeful education that gives students exactly what they’ll need to thrive. To support and ensure these goals are met, Mines Online provides guidance, supports and resources for our faculty

At the Graduate and Post-Bachelorette program levels, Mines is creating a cohesive portfolio of online learning pathways including professional development (continuing & professional education), self-study modules, seminars, individual courses, stackable micro-degree programs, Certificate degrees, Masters’ degrees and PhD programs to meet the shifting needs of industry and individuals. Graduate level programming is our primary focus for Mines online education.

At the Undergraduate program level, the goal is to utilize online courses to provide flexibility for our residential students with bottleneck courses, summer courses, and in pursuing +1 graduate degrees as they transition into the workplace. Additionally, online learning is quickly becoming an industry standard for professional development, so we want our students to become efficient online learners before leaving Mines.
