Masters in Nuclear Engineering in ${country}

The MS degree takes at least two semesters and a summer session to complete and normally takes three semesters and a summer session. The curriculum requires courses covering the fundamentals of nuclear engineering and interaction of radiation with matter, plus additional courses in an area of concentration chosen by the student in consultation with an advisor. Typical areas are:

• fission engineering including reactor physics and radiation transport
• reactor analysis, thermal hydraulics, and reactor safety
• fuel cycles, radiation effects, and radioactive waste management
• fusion engineering and technology
• plasma engineering and processing
• nuclear materials, corrosion, and irradiation damage
• neutron scattering
• nuclear nonproliferation and public policy issues
• radiation detector development and homeland security applications
• biomedical imaging, MRI applications, radiation protection, radiation-based therapy, and health physics
• reliability and risk analysis and probabilistic risk assessment
• computational methods including Lie Group, integral-differential equation, Monte Carlo, big data and fuzzy logic applications.
