Nuclear Technology
Nuclear power generates loads of energy and lots of opportunity. Did you know that nuclear power plants supply 20% of the electrical power in the U.S? And guess what 鈥� they pay well!
The average starting salary of a graduate from our Nuclear Technology program is more than $50,000. Even though new nuclear power plants are not currently being built, the existing ones are safe working environments that鈥檒l be running for decades, and there鈥檚 an aging workforce with not enough replacements ready to go.聽
Our Nuclear Technology program is one of very few in the country, so our graduates are highly sought after to work in any of the 99 nuclear power plants or reactors across the nation. You鈥檒l learn from instructors who have worked in the field, plus you鈥檒l have the chance to gain real-world experience through paid internships with potential employers. And as a graduate, you鈥檒l be prepared to earn a National Academy for Nuclear Training certificate.聽
In the program, you can choose between specialty options in Radiation Protection and Reactor Operations.聽
