For educators at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), nuclear engineering has been a mainstay of their engineering physics program for more than 60 years, teaching Airmen and their joint colleagues how to deal with every aspect of nuclear weapons. AFIT awards nuclear engineering degrees through an 18-month master's program and a three-year doctoral program. Students interested in pursuing a nuclear engineering degree should watch for the Air Force's Annual Advanced Academic Degree announcement, usually released each July, and apply online. AFIT degrees are considered a competitive assignment. A Nuclear Weapons Effects, Policy, and Proliferation Graduate Certificate program (NWEPP) is also available. Those interested in the NWEPP graduate certificate program should contact Jennifer Ngo at jennifer.ngo.ctr@us.af.mil.
