Sample academic plan for the nuclear engineering MS/MEng program at the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering.
a. At a minimum, the student's program shall contain the courses below (or be able to show equivalency);
b. Students without an NE background should take all of the courses below (or be able to show equivalency); and
c. The remainder of the student's major program can be a compilation of any other 500 or 600 level classes as APPROVED by the major professor. Note that at least 24 credits must be graded graduate level NE or RHP courses.
