Systems Engineering, M.S.

Requirements for the Master of Science

The entrance requirement for a Master of Science in Systems Engineering is a bachelor’s degree in engineering or science from an accredited institution, with a GPA of 3.0 or above in undergraduate courses. For some tracks, students need undergraduate courses in differential equations, probability, linear systems, feedback control and computer programming. Students with subject-area deficiencies should take the necessary required courses.

To satisfy MS in Systems Engineering requirements, students must complete three core courses and two tracks; at least one must be a core track. A minimum of three courses should be taken in a track. One course in each track may be a core course. Students can choose the remaining credits (up to 9 credits) from any science, engineering and management courses. If a student elects to write a MS thesis (6 credits), only two courses in a track are required. The total number of credits required is 30 and at least 15 credits should be from EL-prefixed courses. A GPA of 3.0 or above is required in all graduate courses.
