ASU is no longer accepting new students to this program. Please explore Degree Search for other similar program options.
Industrial engineering combines knowledge from the physical, mathematical and social sciences to design efficient manufacturing and service systems that integrate people, equipment and information. Improvements made by industrial engineering in automation, information control and process quality revolutionized manufacturing in the past century and greatly increased the quality of life. Trends toward globalization, increased complexity and rapid technological innovation create an even greater need for industrial engineering in the 21st century.
Successful industrial engineering concepts are also spreading to the financial, logistics and health care services industries, affording new areas of opportunity.
The MSE program in industrial engineering is designed to bridge the gap between knowledge of engineering sciences and creative engineering practice, while at the same time increasing the depth and breadth of knowledge in selected areas of emphasis. The program of course work applicable to the degree is potentially unique for each student, although it must conform to the general guidelines for subject matter content for the degree.
30 credit hours and a written comprehensive exam
The MSE in industrial engineering requires:
four core courses
four area courses
two electives
a written comprehensive examination
Students are required to complete the following course work:
IEE 505 Information Systems Engineering (3) or IEE 506 Design of Computational Systems (3)
IEE 545 Simulating Stochastic Systems (3) or IEE 567 Simulation Systems Analysis (3)
IEE 572 Design of Engineering Experiments (3) or IEE 578 Regression Analysis (3)
IEE 574 Applied Deterministic Operations Research Models (3) or IEE 575 Applied Stochastic Operations Research Models (3)
four area courses
two elective courses
Students must complete a final written comprehensive examination in three of the four core courses. A student who maintains a 3.75 GPA in the four core courses is exempt from the written comprehensive examination.
General university admission requirements:
All students are required to meet general
university admission requirements.
U.S. applicants | International applicants | English proficiency
Students will submit the online graduate admission application. Required supplementary application materials include:
- a statement of purpose
- GRE scores
- three letters of recommendations
An applicant whose native language is not English (regardless of current residency) must also meet the university's English proficiency requirements prior to having the application processed. Please see https://students.asu.edu/graduate/proficiency.
At the time of the application, all applicants must have completed a minimum of nine credit hours of calculus (Calculus I, II, III) with a grade of "C" (2.00) or higher.
A student assigned with deficiency course work must complete the class with a grade of "B" (3.00) or higher within two semesters of admission to the program. Deficiency courses include:
CSE 110 Principles of Programming with Java (3)
CSE 205 Concepts of Computer Science and Data Structures (3)
IEE 376 Operations Research Deterministic Techniques/Applications (3)
IEE 380 Probability and Statistics of Engineering Problem Solving (3)
IEE 470 Stochastic Operations Research (3)

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
