About the Department
We are the largest nuclear engineering program in the United States. With a current student enrollment of 291 undergraduate and 111 graduate students and a faculty of 28, we are ranked second nationally (U.S. News and World Report) in undergraduate and in graduate studies (ranked in 2009) among public universities. Our high faculty-to-student ratio allows us to offer relatively small classes and mentor groups that promote a strong sense of family within the educational process.
We offer degrees at the undergraduate and graduate levels in nuclear engineering or radiological health engineering. There are many sources of financial assistance for students in our department, including scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships
Research facilities include two research reactors, seven accelerators (including a unique microbeam device for determining the response to ionizing radiation on a cell-by-cell basis) and a high-energy pulsed plasma laboratory.
A large faculty with diverse expertise; facilities that are second to none; and a history of strong support from college administrators and alumni give us the tools we need to equip today’s students with the skills necessary for the wide-ranging applications of nuclear science and technology.
