Texas Tech University

MS Degrees

The Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (M.S.I.E.), Master of Science in Systems and Engineering Management (M.S.SYEM), and the Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering (MS, Mfg. Engr.) programs prepare competent industrial engineers and engineering managers for work in healthcare, manufacturing, consulting, transportation, logistics, and other industries.

With the counsel of a faculty advisor, students are expected to design individualized academic programs. The master's level programs consist of two options: (1) a 30-hour thesis option, including 6 credit hours of thesis research, and (2) a 30-hour non-thesis option. The course selection may include a minor in an area outside industrial engineering.

Master's incorporate courses taken in each of the five specialty areas below.
