THE MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE
5.1 The Core Knowledge Requirement
Students must demonstrate an understanding of the breadth of industrial engineering by
completing the following classes:
• IE 8000 Human Factors Engineering
• IE 8030 Engineering Optimization and Applications (LP, modeling)
• IE 8090 Modeling Systems Under Risk (probability, discrete time Markov chains)

5.3 Thesis Option
The thesis option requires a minimum of 30 graduate semester hours of coursework (classes and
research)

5.3.1 M.S. Thesis Program Requirements
Students pursuing the M.S. degree via the thesis option must satisfy the requirements listed
below.
