Chemical Engineering B.S to Nuke Eng M.S?

[Jval]

Hello,

I am studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. I have recently become very interested in Nuclear Engineering, but unfortunately my school does not offer the degree. Is it possible to go from a Chem E b.s to a Nuclear Masters? Thanks!

Yes, but you will have to take a few undergraduate courses to catch up (probably two or three) such as Reactor Theory and basic radiation theory courses. I wouldn't worry too much about it just go ahead and apply.

Yes, it is definitely possible to go from a Chemical Engineering bachelor's degree to a Nuclear Engineering master's degree. Many universities offer graduate programs that allow students to specialize in a specific field, even if they did not major in it during their undergraduate studies. You may need to take some prerequisite courses or complete a bridge program, but it is definitely doable. I would recommend researching different universities that offer Nuclear Engineering programs and reaching out to their admissions offices for more information on their specific requirements. Good luck on your journey!
