From the manufacturing and transportation industries to health care systems and financial institutions, you can take your career to the next level with a Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering. Our program enhances your ability to use advanced concepts and techniques to improve systems while encouraging you to engage in real-world engineering projects and projects that can be developed in formal presentations. Your skills can be applied to a number of fields, including manufacturing, healthcare and transportation.
