Nuclear and Radiological Sciences

College: Engineering

Degree: Bachelor of Science

Hours for the Degree: 123

Minor: No

Combined-Degree Program: Yes

Website: www.nre.ufl.edu/newsite/index.php

This degree emphasizes the nuclear sciences rather than nuclear engineering. Typical emphasis or option areas are radiation protection (health physics) and engineering physics (plasmas, fusion, lasers). A student pursuing this degree must have a selected program, including option area electives approved in advance by an adviser.

Note: A new curriculum is pending for this major. Updates will be made as soon as the new program is approved.

• 2.0 UF GPA required semesters 1-5
