Online Masters in Nuclear Engineering
Online Graduate Certificate in Nuclear Engineering

The Online Graduate Program in Nuclear Engineering provides a strong, flexible, highly analytical education leading to the Master of Engineering degree.

Demand for nuclear engineers is on the rise.

There is a rapidly growing national need for the education of a large number of graduate-level nuclear engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy, at nuclear utilities, and at energy consulting companies. A rapid expansion in the number of nuclear power plants is expected in the next five years.

UMD's Graduate Program in Nuclear Engineering leverages unique strengths to meet the need.

The University of Maryland is committed to the education and training of future graduate-level nuclear engineers, researchers and national leaders. Our program combines cross-disciplinary engineering principles in nuclear sciences and reliability with new concepts in nuclear engineering, advanced research approaches and practical industrial methods. The education our students receive is directed toward a greater emphasis of safety, reliability and the environment, while maintaining our strengths in reactor engineering.

In its on-campus and on-line forms, a student is awarded the Master of Engineering degree in the Nuclear Engineering academic option after having completed ten three-credit courses.
