Undergraduate Advising

Schedule Advising

You can schedule a meeting with head advisor, Joan Stueve, through Beaver Hub.

On campus everyday other than Thursday and Friday afternoon.
Location: BAT 151, 9am - 4pm.
Joan.Stueve@oregonstate.edu

Academic advising is always open. Students are required to make a registration plan every term, so schedule your appointment early, anytime between week 3 and 8 is best. You are encouraged to schedule a zoom or in-person meeting, but in some instances you can advise via email.

Undergraduate Resources

*If you cannot work out a schedule with one of the tutors above please contact the advisor, Joan.Stueve@oregonstate.edu for assistance.

The College of Engineering also offers peer tutoring in NSE 234, math, chemistry, physics and some engineering classes through the Office of Student Services.

Upper-Division Restricted Electives

Courses can be from any college 300-400 level course EXCEPT Liberal Arts, PAC, Music, Foreign Language, or Naval Science. Although we prefer they come from the college of engineering, they can be from any of the following; Ag Science, Business, Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science, Forestry, Public Health or Science. 

One way to find some options is to look at the synthesis offerings in the catalog, they are all 300 and 400 level. https://classes.oregonstate.edu/?srcdb=999999&csst=Y and https://classes.oregonstate.edu/?srcdb=999999&csgi=Y

Program Example Plans

Undergraduate

  • Nuclear Science & Engineering
    Nuclear engineering involves designing, developing, and managing systems that harness nuclear energy, including nuclear reactors, medical treatments, and industrial applications. Our eminent researchers conduct groundbreaking work in a number of high-profile research areas, including advanced reactor design, materials science, radiation detection, nuclear nonproliferation, and radiochemistry. They have designed and certified the first small modular reactor approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, right here at Oregon State. Nuclear engineers also play critical roles in medical imaging, cancer treatment, managing nuclear waste, and protecting people from radiation hazards.
  • Health Physics Option
    Health Physics Option concentrates coursework in the science and technology used to protect people and their environment from radiation hazards, while enabling the beneficial uses of radiation and radioactive materials. This transcript-visible degree option prepares students to understand and apply principles of nuclear science and engineering to solve problems in radiation protection. This option addresses industry demand for personnel with a strong understanding of radiological and occupational health aspects of nuclear science and engineering. 
  • Reactor Engineering Option
    Reactor Engineering Option concentrates coursework in the design, analysis, and operation of nuclear fission reactor systems. This transcript-visible degree option prepares students to understand and apply principles of nuclear science and engineering to solve problems in fission power reactors, research reactors and test reactors. This option addresses industry demand for engineers with strong knowledge of nuclear fission reactors and related technologies.
  • Nuclear Materials Option
    Nuclear Materials Option concentrates coursework in the science and engineering of materials for use in extreme environments, particularly those relevant to advanced and next-generation nuclear reactor Commented systems. This transcript-visible degree option prepares students to understand and apply principles of nuclear science and engineering to solve problems in nuclear materials science. This option addresses industry demand for personnel with a strong understanding of the macroscopic properties and overall performance of materials in various advanced energy applications, ensuring their reliability and safety in nuclear engineering contexts.
