The Department of Nuclear Engineering offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, and three Graduate Certificates. Students may elect a traditional nuclear engineering program focusing on fission energy or radiological engineering concentration program, which prepares students for careers in the radiation safety field (health or medical physics). Both programs are designed for graduates of accredited undergraduate programs in engineering, physics, chemistry, or mathematics.

All entering students pursuing a MS or PhD in NE must have, as a minimum, competency in mathematics through ordinary differential equations. Admitted applicants will be advised of any prerequisite undergraduate courses that may be required for their graduate studies. In addition, students without a BS in nuclear engineering, or the equivalent, must take NE 433 , NE 470  both of which may be taken for graduate credit.

The Graduate Certificate in Medical Physics requires applicants to have earned a PhD in an appropriate field such as Nuclear Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or other closely related science and engineering discipline.

Graduate Credit for Undergraduate Courses

The 400-level courses, listed in the Graduate Catalog, in nuclear engineering may be taken for graduate credit. However, at least two-thirds of the minimum required credit hours in the MS must be taken in courses numbered 500 or above.
