 The Department offers the degrees of Masterof Science,
Master of Engineering, Engineer, and Doctor of Philoso-
phy in nuclear engineering sciences with emphasis in
nuclear power engineering, health physics, medical
physics, and engineering physics. The medical physics
and health physics options are offered through interde-
partmental programs in cooperation with the College of
Medicine and the Department of Environmental Engi-
neering Sciences (see the Health Physics and Medical
Physics 'descriptions under Interdisciplinary Graduate
Studies Programs).
 Specific areas of emphasis include advanced and space
nuclear power concepts, nuclear reactor power plant
technology and operations, reactor dynamics and con-
trol, environmental aspects of nuclear power generation,
mobile robotics for hazardous environments, nuclear
waste management, reactor physics, laser technology,
nuclear detection and instrumentation, bionucleonics,
medical diagnostic imaging, medical radiation physics,
radiation biology, and health physics.
 The requirement for admission to the graduate program
in nuclear engineering sciences is a bachelor's degree in
an approved program in engineering or in the sciences. If
the student's background is considered deficient for the
planned course of study, an articulation program of
background courses will be required.
 Depending on professional objectives, the student may
omit the master's thesis and substitute eight credits of
graduate-level course work, of which at least six credits
are in nuclear engineering sciences, including a four-
credit (minimum) special project (ENU 6936). In such
cases the completion of 32 credits will meet the minimum
requirements for the nonthesis degree.
 It normally requires 16 months to complete the require-
ments for a master's degree. If articulation work is re-
quired, it may take longer, depending upon the extent of
the student's deficiency.
 In addition to graduate courses in nuclear engineering,,
the following courses are acceptable for graduate credit as
part of the health physics option: ENV 6211-Health
Physics; ENV 6211L-Health Physics Laboratory; ENV
6216-Radioactive Wastes; ENV6236-Radiological Tech-
niques: ENV 6932-Special Problems in Environmental
Engineering; and STA 6166-Statistical Methods in Re-
search.
