Explosives engineering, explosive ordnance disposal, blasting and pyro college?

[AprenticeChemist]

Hey everyone haven't been around for a while so most probably don't know me but I'm back. I just recently finished Eod school with the military and want to finish my college degree I've been looking into something in the explosives fields and found a few options and wanted to see if anyone had gone to any of the colleges or knew of other better ones. As of now I've seen AMU(American military university) has an explosive ordnance disposal degree which is an associates of science, and a college in Missouri has explosive engineering but couldn't find much else. So like I said was trying to see if anyone had thoughts or actual been to these before. I'm really interested in anything explosive or even pyro technician related as that is the career field I'm in. I currently work for an explosive deslaging company and for pyroshows a fireworks show company as well as national guard Eod so Really anything explosive related as far as a college degree would be nice. I know Texas a&am and somewhere I believe in Colorado does uxo(unexploded ordnance) and demining course but that's just a couple month course not a degree and most of which is much more basic than what I've already learned.

Engineering, that is the method to find your way. Demolitions is just a sub category in engineering, my daughter is undergoing her chemical engineering undergrad work and there have been a few companies looking for just your experiences along with their degree in engineering.

A friend is doing a MSc at a UK defence college, BUT he has a long career in explosives. You will find a course at a suitable college or Uni BUT they may not be advertised too publicly. Who is going to pay your fees?

Dag is correct that engineering is likely your path.

 

I believe Science and Technology, formerly University of Missouri at Rolla, might have what you are looking for. I think they have a program for demolitions. Could be a subset of mining engineer.
