The Nuclear Science and Engineering program at the Colorado School of Mines is interdisciplinary in nature and draws contributions from the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Department of Liberal Arts and International Studies, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, the Department of Physics, and the Division of Economics and Business. While delivering a traditional Nuclear Engineering course core, the School of Mines program in Nuclear Science and Engineering emphasizes the nuclear fuel life cycle. Faculty bring to the program expertise in all aspects of the nuclear fuel life cycle; fuel exploration and processing, nuclear power systems production, design and operation, fuel recycling, storage and waste remediation, radiation detection and radiation damage as well as the policy issues surrounding each of these activities. Related research is conducted in CSM's Nuclear Science and Engineering Center. Students in all three Nuclear Engineering degrees are exposed to a broad systems overview of the complete nuclear fuel cycle as well as having detailed expertise in a particular component of the cycle. Breadth is assured by requiring all students to complete a rigorous set of core courses. The core consists of a 13 credit-hour course sequence. The remainder of the course and research work is obtained from the multiple participating departments, as approved for each student by the student's advisor and the student's thesis committee (as appropriate). The Master of Engineering degree is a non-thesis graduate degree intended to supplement the student's undergraduate degree by providing the core knowledge needed to prepare the student to pursue a career in the nuclear energy field. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is thesis-based degrees that emphasize research.
