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 Science degree is thesis-based degrees that emphasize research.

The Graduate School at Mines is open to graduates from four-year baccalaureate programs at recognized colleges and universities. To be a candidate for a graduate degree, students must have completed an appropriate undergraduate degree program. Other English Language Requirements: A TOEFL?(Test of English as a Foreign Language) minimum score of 550 on the paper-based; A PTE?A (Pearson test of English) score of 70 or higher.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
Participate. Explore. Innovate. Collaborate. Lead. Achieve. What makes the Mines experience special are the unlimited opportunities our students have. At Mines, you can study what interests you and be accepted for who you are and what you are passionate about. You can connect with faculty, fellow students and staff, try something new and continue to prepare for the life you’re meant to lead. Is our curriculum rigorous? Yes. Are we nerdy? Yep, and we embrace it. Not only are our students high-caliber, they are engaged, active and enthusiastic life learners. Embrace your inner nerd. And…we are thrilled to share that the fall 2021 incoming class was not only the largest ever but was also the most academically competitive ever, the most diverse ever and had the highest percentage of women in Mines history! Below are a few highlights about those who made it Mines this past fall.
33%: Women 28.5%: Underrepresented students 15.4%: First-generation students 3.81-4.00: Middle 50% unweighted GPA 1340-1490: Middle 50% SAT composite scorePlease visit mines.edu for more information
At Mines, we do more than focus on science, engineering and mathematics. We inspire students to be innovators, experts and entrepreneurs and address the greatest challenges that face our planet (and beyond). We work to enroll a graduate community that is diverse in background, culture, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and professional and life experiences.
Take some time to read through the information throughout our website and of course, reach out to us if you have any questions. As you learn more about our graduate programs and community, we believe you will find that Mines offers an unparalleled combination of technical expertise, extensive employer and alumni networks, strong faculty mentorship and a well-rounded research environment.
