This minor must be completed in conjunction with an undergraduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin in one of the following majors: Aerospace Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computational Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geosystems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry. The minor is administered by the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering. 

To be considered for admission into this program, students must meet the following
requirements:

• The minor must be completed in conjunction with an undergraduate degree in one of the following supported majors: Aerospace Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computational Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geosystems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry.
• Students must have completed Mathematics 408C, 408D, 427J, Chemistry 301, Physics 303K, and 303L, or equivalent with a grade of C- or higher.
• Students who have completed 24 hours or more in residence will be encouraged to apply online at the earliest possible date. Applications will be reviewed once per semester (Fall and Spring).

Total Hours Required: 15

Additional Requirements and Policies

Mechanical Engineering Majors: Courses for a minor must be taken outside a student’s major degree Field of Study, so Mechanical Engineering majors must take the N E courses (not M E courses) for the courses to count toward a minor in Nuclear Engineering.

Physics Majors: At least nine credit hours toward a minor must not count toward student’s major, so
students taking the Radiation Physics degree options are not eligible for the Nuclear Engineering Minor. Physics majors in all other degree options are eligible for the Nuclear Engineering Minor.

All classes must be taken on a letter-grade basis. The student must earn a combined grade point average of at least 2.00 in these courses
