About the Consortium
The Big 12 Engineering Consortium was founded in 2007 as a means to increase access to engineering courses in high demand areas. In response to the industry need for more engineers who “speak” nuclear, the multi-state alliance is currently offering fully online courses in Nuclear Engineering. Each institution brings a unique strength to the multi-institution course-sharing program. Through the Big 12 Engineering Consortium, students can enroll at one university to take courses from the best faculty in the discipline from across the Big 12.
