How Long Should the Program Take?

Most distance students should complete all of the requirements for the M.S. degree in nuclear engineering, both research and coursework, in two calendar years. 

A typical two-year program could involve taking eight courses over six consecutive semesters, one per semester for four semesters and two per semester for two semester (see Typical Schedule).

Research would also be conducted during most of the six semesters in order to finish within two years. However, some students may prefer a slower pace while others may prefer a more accelerated pace. The program is designed to accommodate both student preferences.
