Program Description
The online Master of Science interdisciplinary degree is intended to support students who are unable to pursue graduate level education on-campus. Courses can simultaneously interface with existing on-campus Industrial Engineering masters degree programs. Both degree plans will contain a common set of courses and will consist of courses that are part of the existing inventory of graduate courses currently offered within the department.
The target population for the two programs consists of individuals possessing undergraduate degrees in engineering, science, computer science mathematics, and business. Individuals with other backgrounds can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, applicants must present a minimum of two years of post-undergraduate work/military experience along with letters of recommendation and a statement of career goals.
Objectives
