No regular graduate student is permitted to register in Nuclear Engineering for more than six regular terms without having passed the General Examination. Master's Thesis Research General information relating to advanced degrees is to be found in the Graduate School Manual. Research may be undertaken in nuclear engineering or in a related field under the supervision of a member of the faculty of the Nuclear Engineering Department or another Institute department.
Theses can be primarily theoretical or experimental, or can combine both approaches.
A Master's thesis is normally completed within 12 - 18 months. Students should use this as a guide in planning their research schedule. No student will be allowed to register for more than three semesters of Master's thesis work without petitioning for and receiving the express consent of the Departmental Committee on Graduate Students. Once initiated, Master's theses must be completed before a student may start doctoral research. Careful initial planning is essential for successful completion of a research project.
