The Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering (MSESE) is part of the College of Science, yet it continues in the tradition of the Mackay School of Mines. Mackay has had a long and proud history at the University of Nevada, Reno. It is internationally renowned for its academic programs in the earth, mineral, and engineering sciences, and its diverse research activities. The MSESE has garnered its favorable international reputation by providing the engineering and minerals industry with highly trained graduates, conducting state-of-the-art research, and offering continuous public service to Nevada and the nation. The school has expanded its scope to include research and degree programs in other critical earth science disciplines such as seismology, environmental engineering, and hydrology. Mackay offers high quality, personal education for students interested in math and science. It seeks to provide a student-focused and student-friendly atmosphere with small class sizes and a low student-to-faculty ratio.
