Nuclear Engineering - Graduate Level Distance Education

What is it?
Distance education involves the linking of teacher(s) and student(s), through technology rather than face-to-face interaction. Distance education serves the educational needs of people who cannot come to a Penn State campus due to job, family, time, distance, economic, or other constraints.

Penn State’s first distance education courses, developed over one hundred years ago, used the U.S. mail to link students and teachers. Today, we employ various technologies, including: the Internet, CDs, DVDs, interactive video conferencing, live or on-demand streaming media, videotapes, fax, and e-mail to deliver and facilitate the interaction between learners and teachers. The tremendous technological advances in recent years in computing power, storage technology, and communication links have set the stage for marvelous advances in the quantity and quality of distance education. Penn State faculty and staff are working to bring you new and exciting learning opportunities through distance education.

Welcome

Welcome to the web page for our Penn State Nuclear Engineering Distance Courses.

The Office of Continuing & Distance Education in partnership with the Department of Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering has a team of individuals who are dedicated to providing quality courses, customer service and support for all students who are involved in Nuclear Engineering distance education courses. They have years of experience in dealing with the corporate adult student and will be your PSU interface for everything from registration to computer account access to shipping your course materials.

Are you interested in taking graduate level nuclear engineering courses via distance?

Is your B.S. degree in Nuclear Engineering?

YES NO

If you are a US Veteran and plan to use VA benefits for tuition assistance, you must first complete two on-line forms:

Both forms are available from the Office of Veteran Programs.
If you have any questions or require assistance completing these forms, please contact Brian Clark at the OVPEE. You can also check out the World Campus Military Benefits Website.

Use this fill-in-the-blank Personal Tracking Sheet to record your progress through the course offerings available in this program. Save this tracking sheet on your local computer.

If you are a BRES Graduate CLICK HERE.

If you have a Change in your Academic Status such as an absence of one or more semesters (excluding summer session), you will need to complete a Resume Study/Change of Graduate Degree or Major form. This form can be filled out online, but then must be printed and signed. Please fax or mail the signed form to the address on the top of the form.

The table below shows the most recent schedule of current and future course offerings. Detailed information on each course can be obtained by clicking on the course. This schedule is subject to change and courses can be added if there is enough student interest to offer it via distance. It is also possible that some course offerings may be cancelled due to low enrollment.

Before registering for a course, please verify that you have at least the minimum MATH and PHYSICS skills and abilities for success. See Program Information.
