The world's growing need for energy requires a diversity of energy sources, including nuclear energy. Approximately 20% of the electricity used in the U.S. stems from nuclear power. As power plants continue to age, there is a need to develop next-generation nuclear reactors and to educate future generations of nuclear scientists and engineers. The demand for nuclear engineers is projected to significantly outpace supply during the next decade.
The minimum requirements to enter any of the graduate programs in nuclear engineering are an undergraduate degree in engineering or a closely related field from an ABET accredited U.S. program (does not include technical degrees) and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale. The GRE General Exam is recommended but not required for students with an undergraduate degree from a U.S. ABET accredited program. Some applicants who have a baccalaureate degree in a field other than engineering may be required to complete certain undergraduate deficiency courses before they will be allowed to take graduate level courses. Students must also meet College of Graduate Studies minimum requirements for admission. This program is available at the Idaho Falls campus only.
