Study space resources at top-ranking institution in the field of mining engineering
The Colorado School of Mines
( currently listed in the QS World University Rankings by subject
as the top institution in the world for mineral and mining engineering)
has made the following announcement:
"Mines is planning to launch in 2018
a multi-disciplinary graduate program in Space Resources
to offer a Post-Baccalaureate certificate and a Master of Science degree
for college graduates and professionals interested in this emerging arena.
Qualified students who want to pursue research through a Ph.D.
in collaborating departments at Mines are also sought."

(The Colorado School of Mines is obviously not a newcomer
in the field of space resource studies
as -for example- various publications by Richard E. Gertsch
like the one of January 1st 1992
entitled "Asteroid Mining"
clearly demonstrate.)
