Early Entry MS in Industrial Engineering
The Department of Industrial Engineering offers undergraduate students the opportunity to begin coursework toward the Master of Science during the senior year of their Bachelor of Science program. An undergraduate student in this program may begin to take graduate-level courses after completing 95 out of 126~128 credit hours required for the BS. In order to join this program, a student must submit a program outline for approval to Graduate Records and Director of the IE graduate program prior to enrollment in any courses to be included as part of the graduate program.
Students have two options to obtain an MS: A thesis option with 30 credit hours of graduate-level courses and a non-thesis option with 33 credit hours of graduate-level courses. Please contact Dr. Xin Chen, industrial engineering graduate program director at xchen@siue.edu with any questions.
Please note: Only current SIUE students are eligible for this program.
