Master of Science Industrial Engineering & Master of Science Supply Chain Management Requirements

A total of 24 credits from the Department of Industrial Engineering are required:

• 12 credits in required classes comprising the department's 3-course required core, plus IE 2100: Supply Chain Analysis from the elective core, and
• 12 credits in I.E. electives, at least 3 of which (i.e., one course) comes from the remaining four courses in the elective core (Note: students without an undergraduate degree in industrial engineering are required to take IE 2303: Work Design from the elective core).  

The following is a sample program schedule; an actual schedule can be developed in conjunction with the student's academic advisers:

Fall, Year One

Spring, Year One

Fall, Year Two

Spring, Year Two

Prerequisite Courses

There are no prerequisite courses for this program, however if an applicant does not have an undergraduate engineering degree, there may be some additional courses required for acceptance in the program. This will be determined by the program director in consideration of the applicant's work experience and undergraduate degree.

Possible considerations may be:

• IE-2001 Operations Research
• IE-2005 Probability and Statistics

The Industrial Engineering Department provides students with a unique opportunity to pursue certification in the Six Sigma discipline.  The Six Sigma methodology found its roots in the manufacturing sector as a way to effectively apply data to drive strategic organizational decisions.  Since that time, the successful implementation and application of Six Sigma methodologies has seen the application of these techniques expand to financial institutions, the service sector, hospital administration and many more.  

Students are provided the ability to achieve both a Green and a Black Belt Certification.  Both courses provide in depth training in the DMAIC process.  Students also explore the application of Change Management in Six Sigma projects and the relationship of Six Sigma and Lean techniques.
