Nuclear Criticality Safety Graduate Certificate

The Department of Nuclear Engineering offers a graduate certificate in nuclear criticality safety. The program is designed primarily for part-time students. All of the courses are available through distance education (see http://www.anywhere.tennessee.edu/ne/default.htm).

The 12-hour certificate is earned by completing NE 421 , NE 543 , and NE 582  plus one of the following two courses: NE 470  or NE 571 . The selection of one of the latter two courses is determined through an advising conference with each individual student and is based on the student’s personal interests, academic background, and work experience. Applicants must meet the minimum criteria  established by the Graduate Council. Students without a nuclear engineering background must take Nuclear Engineering 301 prior to beginning the graduate course work described above.
