This program, established with the Energy Providers Coalition for Education (EPCE), is designed for current and future nuclear power employees. Students gain the skills and knowledge required for non-licensed operator, maintenance, chemistry, and health physics technician positions in nuclear generation systems. This program is also a great opportunity for present nuclear station employees in non-technical areas, and all employees who are seeking a degree and/or additional training.

Students have the following options:

• Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Nuclear Power Technology
• Program Certificate in Nuclear Power Technology
• Nuclear Power Technology Courses (college courses for professional development)

Learn about Interactive Learning Tools embedded in every online course.
