    Graduate Degree Plan

    Master of Science

    The Industrial Engineering Master of Science program now requires two core courses for all degree plan options: IEEN 5335 and  IEEN 5321. There are three different general degree plan options

    1)  Course-only

    2) Research Project

    3) Thesis.

    The course-only option requires 12 regular courses and pass a written comprehensive exam. 

    The research project option requires 11 regular courses and one IEEN 5305-Research Project course. A student needs to choose an Industrial Engineering faculty as a research project advisor,  complete a research project, write a  report, and pass an oral defense.

    The thesis option requires 8  regular courses and at least two IEEN 5306-Thesis courses. A student needs to choose an Industrial Engineering faculty as thesis advisor, complete a  comprehensive research project, write a thesis proposal  (first IEEN 5306 course) and thesis report (last IEEN 5306  course), and pass an oral defense.

    All three-degree options can be completed 100% online.
