The Department of Nuclear Engineering began over fifty years ago as a joint program with the Chemical Engineering Department. In 2014, it separated and now stands as its own department. ​NE at UNM offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in NE. Research areas exist in (but not only) fusion, materials, computation, criticality safety, space reactors, and advanced reactors. NE also houses an operational AGN-201M Research and Training reactor.
