The Nuclear Engineering curriculum consists of a systematic program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org to prepare graduates for productive careers. The first two years are devoted to general science and engineering courses needed as preparation for the specialized courses taken in the last two years. In the last two years, Nuclear Engineering students select one of two available tracks, traditional Nuclear Engineering or Radiological Engineering. The courses of study are described in the Undergraduate Catalog, which is online at http://diglib.lib.utk.edu/dlc/catalog/. Flowsheets that show the recommended sequence of courses for each track are also online at http://www.engr.utk.edu/nuclear/ugstud/FlowSheet11.pdf.

Nuclear Engineering students may also participate in the Co-Op Engineering Program, which is a 5-year work-study program leading to the B. S. degree. Two coursework plans for nuclear engineering co-op students are as follows:
