Undergraduate Studies
The VCU Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering offers a unique approach to combining mechanical and nuclear engineering education that prepares you for any challenge. Formed from a partnership with Dominion Energy, the program provides a foundation in nuclear energy, allowing you to choose your educational path with advanced coursework in either mechanical or nuclear engineering.
Curriculum Sequence Flowcharts
Curriculum sequence flowcharts for both degree options can be found at the links below. These flowcharts are applicable based on the semester and year of a student's initial enrollment in engineering. This is referred to as the bulletin year. Refer to the VCU Bulletins for official graduation requirements.
