Expand your knowledge base and innovate in the variable fields of nuclear science and nuclear engineering with a graduate degree from Mines. Nuclear Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary program that draws on substantial contributions from faculty across a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. Faculty participating in the program have the breadth of expertise to address all aspects of the nuclear fuel life cycle; from fuel exploration and processing, through nuclear power systems production, design and operation, to fuel recycling, storage and waste remediation and radiation damage and the policy issues surrounding each of these activities.
Financial aid is available to outstanding students through student teaching and research assistantships and fellowships. TA and RA contracts typically cover one academic year. Most are awarded in the fall and may be renewable. The application for admission includes a section regarding financial support. Notification of award is usually done at time of admission. Complete applications should be submitted by the deadline to insure priority consideration for financial support.
