Nuclear Power Engineering Technology and Radiation Protection are two programs specifically designed to meet the needs of the nuclear power industry. Chattanooga State and the Tennessee Valley Authority have partnered to ensure that graduates from these programs will have the skills and competencies necessary for entry into the nuclear power industry. The educational experience is accomplished through classroom instruction, laboratory exercises, observations at nuclear facilities, and student mentoring. Students who meet eligibility requirements may also have the unique opportunity to intern at TVA during the course of their studies.
