Nuclear Technologies

Online Associate Degree from an Accredited Leader in Distance Learning

Nuclear technicians are needed in many growing industries, including medicine, energy, and telecommunications. You can compete for these jobs by earning an online Associate in Science in Technology (Nuclear Technologies).

Excelsior College provides a short, practical path to an associate technology degree, enabling you to graduate in less time, for less money, than it would take to complete a traditional nuclear technologies degree.

  • Balancing your education with work and family obligations.
  • Saving money through Excelsior’s affordable tuition and low student fees. (What will it cost? Find out here.)
  • Getting maximum transfer credit for your previous work from accredited colleges.
  • Completing the prerequisites for an Excelsior bachelor’s degree in technology.
  • Earning academic credit for many forms of job and military training—you’ll only take the courses you really need, and graduate in less time. (If you've got military college credits, see Excelsior's Associate in Science in Technical Studies with area of focus in Nuclear Technologies).
