Ok I've been looking around and I've noticed two things and I have a question on a thing or two also. First from visiting colleges and talking to professionals (architects, engineers etc.) that its best to have a degree in Civil Engineering NOT Construction or Industril even tho it sounds like those woudl be better choices. Second only a few colleges mostly outside the US and Canada offer a major in demolitions, and to get in you need to have like a 5.0 GPA and need huge SAT scores. So a minor in explosives or demo is easier to get. My question is does anyoen know of any colleges witin the US that offer a minor in demolitions? I have had trouble finding any decent ones most are like Pennsylvania University of California and really wierd hole-in-the-wall schools like that.
 
The University of Missouri at Rolla, MO does some explosive research and has some classes. They were originally "The Rolla School of Mines". Their history lies in that direction.

You might check them out.
