Colleges That Offer Nuclear Engineering

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

• The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a private, nonsectarian university with more than 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students. At the undergraduate level, the college offers a four-year Bachelor of Science degree, which requires students to conduct independent research in nuclear fusion, fission or the practical use of its technology in fields like medicine. The university also offers a five-year combined program that allows students to graduate with both Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in nuclear engineering science.
