Nuclear Safeguards and Security (Graduate Certificate)
Program taught by
About the Program
A new, well-trained class of professionals is needed to effectively manage nuclear material—whether it comes from nuclear reactors, fuel cycle facilities, or spent fuel storage and disposal facilities. Equipped with both practical and theoretical knowledge of detecting physical, cyber, and policy vulnerabilities, this workforce protects our world by preventing and responding to theft, sabotage, unauthorized access, illegal transfer, and other malicious acts involving nuclear material, other radioactive substances, and associated facilities.
Students of the fully online graduate certificate program in Nuclear Safeguards and Security will gain the skills that are critical for maintaining nuclear energy sources as part of our national energy plan. The certificate is tied to the Nuclear Engineering Department at Idaho State University (ISU), the Nuclear Engineering and Industrial Management Department at the University of Idaho (UI), and the School of Public Policy at Boise State University (BSU). Students may apply to any of the three institutions for admittance into the certificate program. All courses are asynchronous, online, and available for registration through Online Idaho.
