The Program


ISEEM departmental graduate programs are available both on campus and by distance learning. Our large and active graduate programs are about equally divided between on campus and distance learning students. Graduate programs available include the following options of the Master of Science in Engineering:

Engineering Management
Ergonomics
Manufacturing Systems
Operations Research
Quality Engineering
Systems Engineering
Systems Simulation

The Master of Science in Operations Research (M.S.O.R.) is primarily for graduate students with an interest in operations research, that is, the solution of real-world problems through diverse methods, techniques, tools, and algorithms. The M.S.O.R. program is concerned with optimization, stochastic systems analysis, and operations research applications. Areas of application include large-scale systems analysis, analysis of urban socioeconomic systems, and management sciences. This program is open to students with mathematics or science backgrounds who do not have an engineering undergraduate degree.

Admission Requirements

All options require a 3.0 grade point average from an ABET accredited program and a score of 1500 or more on the Graduate Record Examination for unconditional admission. The Engineering Management Option also has a requirement of two years of engineering or related experience in an organization with a US base of operations. Applicants who do not have the above requirements will be considered for admission with conditions that will depend on the student's record. International students must have a minimum score of 250 on the computerized TOEFL examination or 600 on the written TOEFL exam.
