I'm thinking about doing graduate school in nuclear engineering; and wanted to know (give or take) the time it would take to get that degree. . . . it is a thesis program, by the .. Anyone have any insight?

1 year, engineering is one of the quicker fields to get a graduate degree.

If it is a research (thesis) master's, it will take longer than 1 year. 1.5 to 2 years is the average in chemical engineering. You spend your first year two semesters in class, and then spend the rest of your time doing research.

I'm finishing my BSME this summer, so I'll be applying for the fall. I've heard it takes a few semester of classes, but mostly what I'm worried about is the research/thesis time.

Actually there are very few class to take for engineering graduate school unlike undergrad where engineers have the most courses in grad school engineers generally have the fewest number of courses to take. There is never more than 2 semester worth of classes, and it is almost never more than the minimum 12 units needed for full time.

What's your degree in, and how long did it take you ?
 
cool, I haven't done any research or investigation into the actual schools, mainly b/c my professor (who is also the dean of teh graduate school) has pretty much assured me admission. thanks for all the replies

I am working on my undergrad right now. I might go to grad school but I probably wont. For my undergrad I am doing a double major Statistics and Managerial Economics, this will take me 5 years with around 220 units. There are also possibilities of me changing this to Statistics-Computer Science and a minor in Computer Science. Statistics-Computer science is a degree in statistics with a bunch of extra computer science classes.
