NC State University is rolling out a new program that allows students and working professionals to obtain a graduate certificate in health physics. The certification process involves taking four classes, from a roster of six options, providing industry-needed skill sets in health physics. Classes can be taken in person or online.

"The practice of health physics overlaps certain aspects of nuclear engineering, but focuses on radiological protection and radiation safety," said Robert Hayes, who will be overseeing the certification program. "Our online master's program in nuclear engineering is already ranked first in the country, and we think this certification program will give our students—or working professionals—an opportunity to further advance their careers and nicely compliments our new undergraduate minor in health physics."

More information on the health physics minor is available on the NC State University website, or you can contact Hayes directly by email.
