Typical Schedule

A Typical Schedule of Interactive Course Offerings:

Synchronous (i.e. interactive) classes will be available asynchronously (i.e. saved on a server) for a few days after synchronous delivery in order to accommodate students who must occasionally miss class.

All courses are 3 credit hours each.

The above cycle of courses repeats itself during each subsequent two-year period. Additional courses may be offered depending on demand (e.g. see other nuclear engineering courses listed in the UT Graduate Catalog) and resources available for distance delivery. Likewise, courses may be concelled if demand is insufficient. Distance students registered for courses in the program are welcome to attend the corresponding classes on the UT main Campus whenever possible.
