The Nuclear Science and Engineering doctoral program, offering both PhD and ScD degrees, provides in-depth knowledge of the field while fostering advanced research skills and an understanding of nuclear technology's societal impact.
Doctoral candidates must meet Institute-wide requirements outlined in Graduate Education policies, along with department-specific mandates including core coursework, specialization areas, oral examinations, advanced subjects, minor requirements, and thesis completion. Successful candidates typically earn a PhD unless they specifically request an ScD, as both degrees share identical requirements.
Current master's or nuclear engineering students seeking doctoral admission must submit an application to the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department's Admissions Committee.
