2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
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.
Nuclear Engineering Sciences
To remain ‘on track’ for this major a student must meet the following critical-tracking criteria. Critical tracking courses appear in bold.
