What route is the best one to take?

<p>I was wondering which would be the best idea between either</p>

<p>going to South Carolina State and getting a Bachleor's degree in Nuclear Engineering then applying to University of South Carolina Graduate School to get a Master's degree in Nuclear Engineering,</p>

<p>or going to North Carolina State and getting a Bachleor's degree in Nuclear Engineering,</p>

<p>or going to University of South Carolina and gettting a Bachleor's degree in Mechanical Engineering then getting my Master's degree in Nuclear Engineering?</p>

<p>Also what college offers the best Nuclear Engineering program?</p>

<p>I plan to go into the Navy after i finish college to become a Naval Nuclear Officer. I just need help with this i would accept any kind of information.</p>

<p>Also would it be smart or overkill to get a Ph. D. in Nuclear Engineering when i get out the Navy?</p>

<p>If you believe those routes are not good what route would you think is a good one to take?</p>
