Graduate laboratory course requirement:

All Ph.D. students must take NERS 515, Nuclear Measurements Laboratory and obtain a grade of B (5.00) or better. Students who have taken NERS 315 or equivalent as an undergraduate must instead take one of NERS 425, NERS 575 or NERS 586. The graduate program chair must approve in writing any variances and substitutions.

Laboratory course taken: NERS ________ ________hrs.

Equivalent: NERS ________ ________hrs. _______RFT

Breadth requirements:

All Ph.D. students must take and obtain a grade of B (5.00) or better in 6 credit hours of NERS courses selected from outside the student's option, as defined by the following lists of courses. Courses not listed do not satisfy this requirement; the graduate chair must approve any variances in writing. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure the breadth of nuclear engineering and radiological science education of our Ph.D. students and to ensure that the student is exposed to the quantitative analytical methods used in other specialties in the field. A laboratory course used to satisfy this breadth requirement cannot be used to satisfy the laboratory requirement (above).
