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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Students with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering can transition to a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering. The University of Oklahoma does not offer a Nuclear Engineering degree, but prospective students can apply for the master's program by completing two or three undergraduate prerequisite courses. Essential courses include Reactor Theory and basic Radiation Theory. Applicants should proceed with their applications without excessive concern about the transition.

PREREQUISITES
  • Reactor Theory
  • Basic Radiation Theory
  • Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering
  • Advanced Thermodynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum for a Master's in Nuclear Engineering at various universities.
  • Identify and enroll in undergraduate courses related to Reactor Theory.
  • Study basic Radiation Theory through online courses or textbooks.
  • Connect with academic advisors to discuss the transition process and application requirements.
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in engineering disciplines, particularly Chemical Engineering students interested in pursuing Nuclear Engineering at the graduate level.

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.
