Description

With data centers projected to consume 11-12% of U.S. electricity by 2030, nuclear power offers a stable, carbon-neutral alternative. ASU's undergraduate certificate program in nuclear engineering equips you to meet rising global energy demands through sustainable solutions like small modular reactors. You gain foundational knowledge to support advanced nuclear systems, including Arizona's expanding infrastructure. The program addresses a national workforce gap, preparing you for high-paying roles in a resurging industry.

Curriculum
Enrollment requirements

Students should meet the higher admission requirements listed for the BSE in electrical engineering.

A student pursuing an undergraduate certificate must be enrolled as a degree-seeking student at ASU. Undergraduate certificates are not awarded prior to the award of an undergraduate degree. A student already holding an undergraduate degree may pursue an undergraduate certificate as a nondegree-seeking graduate student.

Career opportunities

Graduates are prepared for careers in nuclear energy. Opportunities span engineering disciplines --- including electrical, mechanical and chemical --- and include positions in reactor design, safety analysis and energy policy. With nuclear power's resurgence and demand for clean energy, students can pursue high-paying roles in government, industry and research. The certificate also supports careers in data center energy management, where small modular reactors offer sustainable solutions to large energy needs.

Program term definitions

Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.

Accelerated master's

These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).

Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.

Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.

Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.

ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.

ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
