FAQs

• How do I get an Advisor?
  
  PhD The Director of Graduate Programs serves as the student’s initial advisor, if not assigned one, until the student chooses one of the NE faculty members, as the advisor. After successfully finding an advisor, a graduate committee must be established with a minimum of four members, including the advisor, that serve on the committee. The chairperson will be the student’s advisor. The second (or co- chairperson),third, and fourth members may be from nuclear engineering or from another department’s graduate faculty with expertise and strength in the student’s chosen area of research. One of the members must be from another department that serves as the graduate school representative (GSR). If a minor is declared, then a member from the committee has to be from the minor department and can also serve as a GSR.
