Nuclear Engineering - Undergraduate Program
Declaration of Major
Prior to formally declaring Nuclear Engineering as their major, students are classified as "pre-engineering" students. To become eligible to declare the major, the student must complete at least 10 of the 12 "key courses" listed below with a minimum grade of "C-" in each course, and must have at least a 2.0 GPA, both in the key courses and overall. (Note: ENGR 165/167 and ENGR 223/224 are considered single key courses that are taken concurrently.) No key course may be repeated more than twice, and any remaining key courses must be completed by the end of the first semester following the declaration. Upon making the declaration and submitting the proper form, if approved, students become eligible to enroll in upper division engineering courses (i.e., those numbered 300 or above). The student will not be allowed to register for any College of Engineering upper-division course until the declaration has been approved.
Obtaining a Degree
The program of study for the Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering degree must include 134 credits as listed in the courses section of the website and in the course catalog.
