College credit for NANT-accredited programs―coming full circle

摘要

An effort is under way to assess programs accredited by the National Academy for Nuclear Training (NANT), headquartered at the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) in Atlanta, that would be applicable to a baccalaureate degree in nuclear engineering technology. The formal recognition of accredited nuclear industry training programs for college credit―by Excelsior College, of Albany, N.Y.―will not only expand the educational opportunities of workers throughout the nuclear industry, but will also promote the mobility and career opportunities of individuals who seek to have their training applied to a degree program in an allied tecli-nical profession.
