Qualified undergraduates may earn a BS degree in Nuclear Engineering and a MS degree in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics with a total of 148 credits following a carefully chosen plan of study. Both degrees are granted simultaneously when both the BS and MS degree requirements are met. You will be eligible for consideration for a research assistantship during the fifth year.

Requirements for Admission

1. Majoring in Nuclear Engineering
2. Grade point average of 3.0 or better

Application Procedure

1. Toward the end of your junior year submit a letter of application to the EP Department Chair.

   1. Include with this letter a schedule plan for the courses you will take during the fourth and fifth years; this plan should be worked out with, and approved by, your advisor. An example is in Appendix B. Designate which courses to be taken during the last two years are to be counted for undergraduate credit and for graduate credit. Up to 4 credits may be used for both undergraduate and graduate credit.

   2. If admitted by the department to the Dual Degree program, a notation of admission will be placed on your transcript. Your classification will remain NE4 for your senior year.

2. During the second semester of the senior year, apply for admission to the Graduate School. If admitted, your classification will be changed to E5 and you will pay graduate fees for the final years of study.

3. If you drop out of the Dual Degree program, your classification will be changed back to NE4 and the BS degree will be granted when all requirements are met.

Program Requirements

1. The usual requirements for both the BSNE and MSNEEP degrees apply. See the undergraduate and graduate advising materials for a description of the requirements.

2. The total number of credits must be at least 148. Up to 4 credits may be used for meeting both the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements.

3. Changes in your program must be approved by your advisor and a revised program plan submitted to the department prior to deviating from the earlier program plan.
