Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences Undergraduate Education
Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences Undergraduate Education
Sequential Graduate/Undergraduate Education (SGUS)
B.S.E in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences
M.S. in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences
This program is open to all Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences (NERS) undergraduate students who have completed 85 or more credit hours. All NERS undergraduates are eligible to apply for admission to this program during the first semester of their senior year. Recommendation of the Undergraduate Program Advisor is required, and the standard Rackham graduate application process is followed. All undergraduate students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2 would be automatically accepted into the simultaneous degree program. Applications of students who do not meet the required GPA will be reviewed by the NERS Graduate Admission Committee.
B.S.E in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences
M.S. Biomedical Engineering
This SGUS program is open to all undergraduate students from Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences who have achieved senior standing (85 credit hours or more), and have an overall cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher. Please contact the Department of Biomedical Engineering for more complete program information.
Engineering Global Leadership (EGL)
Honors Program
The Engineering Global Leadership Honors Program (EGL) is an exciting honors program offered across all disciplines in engineering for those students with strong GPAs who enjoy learning foreign languages, and studying other cultures. The program is designed to maximize and focus free electives, language, humanities, and social science courses around a region of economic importance to the U.S. In addition, EGL students are required to take business courses and complete a built-in practical experience to place technical knowledge in an industrial context. This honors program is very rigorous (full class loads every semester and maintenance of high GPA) but EGL students graduate with both a B.S.E. and Master's degree and tend to have higher starting salaries than other engineering undergrads.
