BS/MS Graduate Degree Program
The combined BS/MS Degree program in Nuclear Engineering is an opportunity available for
qualified undergraduates in Engineering or Engineering Physics. Excellent students are able to initiate the Master's Program (research) during the Senior year, with the possibility of completing their MS within three quarters following completion of the Bachelor's requirements. Graduate Research Associate (GRA) appointments may be available following admission to the BS/MS Program by the Graduate School. A GRA appointment includes a monthly stipend plus a tuition waiver. Before graduation, appointments will be 25%; upon graduation, with a BS, appointments will become 50%.
Admissions Requirements
- Senior Level standing in Engineering or Engineering Physics
- Completion of 135 undergraduate credit hours
- Minimum 3.5 Cumulative GPA in all previous undergraduate work
