I am very interested in a future career in Nuclear Engineering. Right now I am a junior working on my B.S. in Engineering Physics. I am looking at th Navy's Nuclear Engineering program from grad school. My question:

How good is the Nuclear program compared to other Public Universities? Would I be noticeable to industry then just a regular MS from a regular university? What advantages would there be going into this program instead of a normal MS degree from some other University?
