Introduction:

• The students from Nuclear Engineering would take their prescribed courses for the 8 semesters of study normally leading to a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering.
• The students from Health Sciences would take their prescribed courses for the 8 semesters of study leading to a B.S. in Radiological Health Science (Honors).
• The 5th year studies would require a total course load of 33 credit hours.
• The student may only choose the non-thesis MS option.
• The NE students will be required to write a major paper or perform an experiment and write a report as part of the specified practicum experience.

Graduate courses taken while registered as a graduate student at Purdue University may be considered for fulfilling the plan of study requirements only if the student has received grades of C or better. For courses at the 300 or 400 level taken as a graduate student or courses that represent either undergraduate or graduate excess credit or transfer credit, grades of B or better are required for fulfilling plan of study requirements.
