The doctoral programs in Nuclear Science and Engineering, whether pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Science degree, are designed to provide thorough expertise in nuclear science and engineering principles, foster advanced research capabilities, and cultivate an understanding of nuclear technology's societal impact.
Institute-wide doctoral requirements are outlined in the Graduate Education section and the Office of Graduate Education Policy and Procedures manual. The Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering mandates core coursework, specialization areas, oral examinations, advanced subjects with minor requirements, and a doctoral dissertation. Successful completion typically results in a PhD, though students may opt for an ScD instead - both degrees share identical requirements.
Current master's or nuclear engineering students seeking doctoral candidacy must submit an application to the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering's Admissions Committee for program consideration.
