理学学士/核工程理学硕士

该系为合格学生提供五年制BS-MS计划，其中包括BS（核工程专业）和MS（核工程专业）。该计划的主要组成部分是，合格的学生可以为他们的高级本科选修课学习长达6个小时的经批准的研究生课程，并使他们计入田纳西大学的学士和硕士学位。该课程是为就读田纳西大学理学硕士学位的学生而设计的，因为其他大学可能不接受这些课程的研究生学分，因为它们被用来满足理学学士学位的要求。
Nuclear engineering is the engineering discipline that focuses on the application of nuclear and atomic processes for the benefit of mankind and the environment. Radiological engineering is a specialty of nuclear engineering that addresses biological applications such as radiation safety (health physics). Some examples of nuclear and radiological engineering are production of electric power with essentially no air pollution, production of radioisotopes for medical and industrial uses, and development of radiation based methods for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The mission of the Nuclear Engineering Department is to - Produce high quality nuclear and radiological engineering graduates from undergraduate through the doctoral level in order to help meet the manpower needs of our state, region, nation, and the international community. Conduct nuclear and radiological engineering related research to help meet the needs of society. Perform service for industry, government, professional organizations, and the public in areas related to nuclear and radiological engineering.
