About Master of Nuclear Engineering

The Department of Nuclear Engineering offers a Master of Science degree in which students may elect a program focusing on traditional fission energy, nuclear security, nuclear materials, or a student can choose a radiological engineering concentration.

The program requires the completion of 12 graduate credit hours of nuclear engineering courses and 12 credit hours of additional graduate courses. The program requires a research option selected by the student in coordination with the student's graduate committee and is based on the student's personal interests, academic background, and work experience, as well as the nature of projects currently available in the department. A thesis requires the student to conduct independent, in-depth research. An engineering practice project is similar to a thesis project but smaller in scope and can be research, design, product development, special operations, or a critical review of published literature in a specific technical area. The final report for an engineering practice project is normally prepared in thesis format; however, another formal report format may be used if approved by the student's graduate committee.
