NOTE: Minimum credit hours for graduation are 128.
(1) - Chemistry 1 and 2 or Chemistry 5 and Chemistry 4 or an equivalent training program approved by Missouri S&T.
(2) - Nuclear Engineering students are expected to take Nuclear Technology Applications (NE 25) during their Freshman year. It can be taken either in the fall or winter semester.
(3) - Students, at some point in their course of studies, must take a course that fulfills the Williams law requirement. (History 112, 175, 176 or Potitical Science 90).
(4) - Econ 121 or 122.
(5) - Courses which do not count towards this requirement are remedial courses such as algebra and trigonometry, physical education courses, extra credits in required courses, and basic Air Force and Army ROTC courses (courses taught in the first two years of the ROTC program).
(6) - Humanities and Social Science courses to be taken in accordance with School of Mines and Metallurgy policy.
F.E. Exam: All Nuclear Engineering students must take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination prior to graduation. A passing grade on this examination is not required to earn a B.S. degree, however, it is the first step toward becoming a registered professional engineer. This requirement is part of the Missouri S&T assessment process as described in Assessment Requirements found elsewhere in the Missouri S&T Undergraduate Catalog. Students must sign a release form giving the University access to their Fundamentals of Engineering Examination score.
