Degrees Offered The graduate degrees offered in the UI Nuclear Engineering Program are the Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering (M.S.N.E.), the Master of Engineering in Nuclear Engineering (M.E.N.E.), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The Master
of Science degree is a research-based
degree culminating in a master's
thesis. Students completing this
degree would be well prepared
to work in research, industry
or academic settings. The degree
requires a minimum of 30 credit
hours, and normally takes 6 credits
of thesis, and normally takes
3 to 4 semesters to complete.
The Master of Engineering degree is a more
design-oriented degree. A master's
thesis is not required. The degree
requires a minimum of 30 credit
hours and normally takes 3 to
4 semesters to complete.
The Doctor of Philosophy degree is an advanced
research-based degree. The results
of the research done are summarized
in a publishable doctoral dissertation.
The research completed in this
degree is expected to be original
and innovative, and make a unique
contribution to the field. Students
completing this degree are well
prepared to work in a research-oriented
position, such as those at national
laboratories, industries, or universities.
The program requires a minimum
of 78 credit hours beyond the
bachelor's degree and normally
takes The University of Idaho's Nuclear Engineering Program offers a Graduate Certificate in the subject area of Nuclear Criticality Safety to students who successfully complete 12 credit hours (4 courses) of rigorous focused study. Click here for Course of Study Guide For additional
