<p>Does anyone know about the nuclear engineering program at MIT? I am going to UIUC through NROTC, and am hoping to transfer to MIT later on. How good would University of Illinois' program look to MIT?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I can't say specifics but I know that Course 22 Nuclear Engineering here is pretty top-notich. Check out <a href="http://web.mit.edu/ned/www/index.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://web.mit.edu/ned/www/index.shtml</a></p>
<p>Turns out it's one of the oldest nuclear eng. departments in the country</p>
<p>I've heard that C22 is very difficult and very small. Since so few students choose to enroll in it, C22 has a very "niche" feel.</p>
<p>I thought it was a grad major only. It is probably pretty difficult since it's nuclear. From what I heard so far, graduates said don't do it if you are not white because there are so much discrimination in this field when you work for the government.</p>
<p>I am white, but I plan to go into the Navy anyways. If I went to MIT, it would be via NROTC.</p>
