Recruiting Graduate Students Through An Introductory Nuclear Science And Engineering Course And A Newly Implemented Undergraduate Minor Program

Five years ago, an effort was undertaken in the Nuclear Engineering Graduate Program at The Ohio State University to re-invent the only undergraduate nuclear engineering course in the Program to make it a key recruiting tool for new graduate students. As this effort succeeded, it became apparent that additional success might be achieved if an undergraduate minor were established. Taking a little over one year from conception to University approval, the minor is now in place, effective Fall Quarter, 2002.
