MSc in Nuclear Engineering in Virginia Beach United States | Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Virginia Tech's Nuclear Engineering Program (NEP) is an interdisciplinary initiative covering nuclear power, nonproliferation and security, medical radiation applications, and policy studies. Operating within the Mechanical Engineering Department, the NEP provides graduate degree options at both the Blacksburg campus and National Capital Region (NCR), features an accelerated MEng partnership with the US Naval Academy, and includes an undergraduate Nuclear Engineering minor.
Students from various fields can pursue a graduate certificate in Nuclear Engineering (available at Blacksburg, NCR, and online) or the Nuclear Science, Technology, and Policy (NSTEP) certificate (offered at Blacksburg and NCR). The NSTEP certificate represents a collaborative effort between Nuclear Engineering, Science, Technology, and Society, and the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA). NEP faculty work across diverse nuclear applications spanning energy, security, healthcare, and policymaking. To support its research and education goals, the program maintains partnerships with multiple VT departments including Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Computer Science, SPIA, and Science, Technology and Society. External collaborations are expanding, including an international study program at Slovenia's Josef Stefan Institute. Faculty from these various programs regularly collaborate with NEP on educational and research projects.
