Overview

Have you considered getting your master’s degree after graduation, or maybe you are already in the nuclear engineering field and want to further your education to open doors for promotion or leadership roles? The Nuclear Engineering program at Missouri University of Science and Technology is here to help you achieve your goals! Engage in productive analysis and criticism of your own and others’ research during your graduate studies.

Your Career in Nuclear Engineering

As a nuclear engineer, you will develop and promote the use of energy released from nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, and radioactive material.

Nuclear power plants operating in the United States produce about 20% of our nation's electricity. Nuclear power technology produces about 60% of our nation’s carbon-free electricity, reduces the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide significantly, and contributes to a cleaner environment. The same technology supports propulsion of US military submarines and aircraft carriers. Radioactive materials are also used in medicine for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
