No Pass-Fail courses allowed
Students must earn a minimum Major GPA of 2.0 (truncated). Major GPA includes all required NRE and ME classes plus classes used for the concentration. If a class is repeated, only the last grade is included in the calculation.
1 | Minimum grade C |
2 | Ethics Overlay may be Humanities or Social Sciences and can be any course from the GT-approved list: http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/ethics/. |
3 | Students can receive credit for only one of ECON 2100, ECON 2101, ECON 2105 and ECON 2106. The only exception is that students can receive 6 hours credit for both ECON 2105 and ECON 2106. |
4 | CHEM 1211K can substitute for CHEM 1310. CHEM 1211K and CHEM 1212K are recommended for pre-health students. |
5 | Students must satisfy the requirements of EITHER the Nuclear Engineering (NE) Concentration or the Radiological Science and Engineering (RSE) Concentration. NE Concentration requires ME 3345, NRE 4210, and NRE 4214; RSE Concentration requires NRE 4328 and two courses from the following list: NRE 4750, NRE 4803 (Nuclear Safeguards), and NRE 4407. Students may complete both Concentrations using free or engineering electives. |
6 | Any Math or Science at 2000 level or higher with the exception of selected 1000-level courses: BIOS 1107/BIOS 1107L, BIOS 1108/BIOS 1108, and CHEM 1212K. |
7 | Engineering Elective is any class from the College of Engineering at the 2000-level or higher excluding: ME 3141, ME 3700,ME 3720, ME 3743, ME 3744, ME 4741, ME 4742, and ME 4753. Also excludes project-type courses such as VIP, and 2699, 2903, 4699, 4903 classes. Cannot duplicate any other material used to satisfy the BSNRE degree requirements. |
8 | Free 1XXX: Cannot duplicate any other material used to satisfy the BSNRE degree requirements. |
9 | Free 2XXX: At least 9 hours of free electives must be at the 2000 level or above with the exception of 4 hours that may be satisfied with one of the following: BIOS 1107/BIOS 1107L, BIOS 1108/BIOS 1108L, or CHEM 1212K. Cannot duplicate any other material used to satisfy the BSNRE degree requirements |
