Students can choose between the non-thesis or thesis track when pursuing a Master of Science (M.S.) in industrial engineering. The non-thesis path offers excellent preparation for those entering industry after graduation or planning to continue toward a Ph.D. The thesis option caters to research-focused students who secure a faculty advisor. The M.Eng. is a specialized, coursework-only master's designed for working professionals, delivered entirely online to accommodate full-time employment.
The Ph.D. curriculum focuses on industrial engineering's scientific and analytical principles, equipping students for top-tier professional practice. Beyond coursework, doctoral candidates dedicate substantial time to independent study, seminar participation, and developing an original research dissertation.
