The American Council on Education has evaluated the course of instruction at NNPTC and recommended the following credits be given for completion of the enlisted curriculum:[10]
5 hours in general physics
3 hours in heat transfer and fluid flow
3 hours in nuclear reactor engineering
1 hour in atomic and nuclear physics
1 hour in radiation protection technology
3 hours in general chemistry and principles of materials
4 hours in technical mathematics.
Additionally, for Machinist's Mates
3 hours in applied thermodynamics and heat transfer
3 hours in power plant systems
2 hours in hydraulic systems
For Electronics Technicians and Electrician's Mates
3 hours in basic electricity
2 hours in DC circuits
2 hours in AC circuits
2 hours in digital principles
2 hours in electric machines
Several universities offer graduate level credit for completion of the officer training course.[3][4]

I'm not sure how to turn those credits into a degree during active duty though..
