Students can choose between two paths for the Master of Science (M.S.) in industrial engineering: the non-thesis or thesis track. The non-thesis route 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 master's program designed for working professionals pursuing advanced studies while maintaining full-time employment, delivered entirely online without a thesis requirement.
The Ph.D. curriculum focuses on the scientific and analytical principles of industrial engineering, equipping students for top-tier professional practice. Beyond coursework, doctoral candidates dedicate substantial time to self-directed study, seminar participation, and developing an original research dissertation.
