Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering

Missouri University of Science and Technology

You will be prepared to tackle challenges of the future using nuclear and radiation-based solutions with your degree in nuclear engineering from Missouri S&T. The program focuses on using team-oriented and hands-on experiential methods to show you how to approach and solve engineering challenges. As a nuclear engineering student, you will be uniquely prepared to hit the ground running after graduation. Nuclear engineering developed this brochure to assist you with the nuclear engineering program. We provide nuclear engineering job outlooks, program information, suggested course of study, and more. 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.
