2005-06 Undergraduate Catalog
Majors
This degree emphasizes the nuclear sciences rather than nuclear engineering. Typical emphasis or option areas are radiation protection (health physics) and engineering physics (plasmas, fusion, lasers). A student pursuing this degree must have a selected program, including option area electives approved in advance by an adviser.
** All nuclear engineering and nuclear engineering sciences majors must pass all required undergraduate department courses with an overall C average.
