General requirements
- Admission to the NSS Certificate program, either as a MSMNE student or as a non-admitted student, requires both a BS degree in an engineering or related discipline and ME 455/655 Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering or HPS 701 Applied Nuclear Physics (or an equivalent course).
- If an applicant can demonstrate equivalent knowledge from relevant work experience (e.g. Navy nuclear reactor program or extensive training and experience at an NRC-licensed or DOE process facility), the Director of the NSS Certificate Program can waive the prerequisite course requirement with the concurrence of the Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering based upon review by nuclear engineering faculty.
