The MS in industrial engineering program offers two primary tracks: a coursework-focused option and a research/thesis-based option. The first track is designed mainly for students seeking to enhance their technical expertise for industry careers. The second track also suits industry-bound students but emphasizes cultivating independent research abilities and academic writing, while also preparing students for potential further graduate studies.
Both tracks require proficiency across three key technical domains: systems, human factors, and analytics. The systems specialization focuses on designing, building, and evaluating complex systems involving interconnected human and machine components. Human factors concentrates on how people interact with systems, examining cognitive and physical constraints. Analytics applies mathematical techniques, including statistical methods, along with computational algorithms to extract insights from data. Each specialization benefits from multiple faculty members, with many professors contributing to multiple areas. For details about specific research labs and their projects, refer to the Facilities section under the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering in the catalog.

Qualification Requirements
Admission to the graduate program is competitive and based on an applicant's previous coursework, research, and industrial experience. The general admission standards are intended to maintain the quality of the graduate program and to ensure sufficient preparation required for timely degree completion. Specific admission standards may be waived by the Graduate Admissions Committee when other evidence of competence is compelling. These standards are minimum standards, and meeting these standards does not ensure admission to the program, admitted students typically exceed these standards.
Applicants are expected to have a minimum cumulative g.p.a. of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale, and have earned a B.S.E. in industrial engineering degree or in a related science or engineering discipline. Applicants are required to submit the results of their Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test. The GRE Advanced Examination in Engineering is not required for admission to the program, however, these scores should be forwarded to the department if that examination is taken. The minimum GRE General Test requirement is a combined quantitative reasoning and analytical writing score of 300. There is no specified minimum requirement for the verbal reasoning portion of the test.
International applicants whose first language is not English are required to submit the results of their Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Duolingo English Test (DET). Applicants who have completed a post-secondary degree at an English-speaking institution may request a waiver of this requirement. A minimum TOEFL score of 100, a minimum IELTS score of 7
