Nuclear Best Engineering Schools

Ranked in 2010

Nuclear engineers work with nuclear energy, nuclear waste, medical physics, and more. They may also be active in design and nuclear research. These are the top graduate schools for nuclear engineering programs.

Editor's note: Due to an initial data processing error, the ranking of several schools on this list have changed. As of March 18, 2011, these rankings have been carried over from those published in the 2011 edition which were ranked in 2010. This is the corrected list. However the discrepancies in the rankings themselves were not able to be corrected in the 2012 print edition of Best Graduate Schools.
