<p>I'm currently looking at my options for applying to colleges, and I think I want to go with nuclear engineering. I'm planning to apply to UofM for the dual BS/MS program and also MIT as a reach. Can anyone advise me on the major? How does it fare in terms of salary, especially compared to other types of engineering? Anyone with experience in the field or who knows a great deal about it?</p>
<p><a href=“https://gecd.mit.edu/resources/data[/url]”>https://gecd.mit.edu/resources/data</a> has some information on how MIT nuclear engineering graduates did. But note the small sample sizes.</p>
<p>Hi, I want to study nuclear engineering and I want to know what is the lowest GPA that I can I have in order to study nuclear engineering.</p>
<p>Zia1234, NucE has the same GPA requirements as any other engineering field. Each school/department has it’s own minimum GPA, so you’ll need to look at the schools you may attend. While hunting for your first job, you really want to have a 3.0+ GPA…the higher the better…same goes for internships, co-ops, etc.</p>
<p>Gauravk306, salaries are in-line with other engineering majors. The following overview is a bit dated (2003’ish?) but still useful.</p>

<p>Also, it’s fairly easy to switch engineering majors in your first year or two of college (especially if you’re switching to ME or materials), if you decide it’s not for you. As a rule, if a school has an ABET accredited NE department, it is likely part of a fairly large engineering school with plenty of options.</p>
