Prospective Students
The Industrial Engineering (IE) Department of Arizona State University (ASU) offers three graduate degree programs: Master of Science (MS), Master of Science in Engineering (MSE), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The MS degree requires a written thesis and an oral defense of this thesis. The MSE degree program is a non-thesis option that requires a final written Comprehensive Exam covering the core area coursework. The Ph.D. degree is offered to students who have completed a Bachelors or Master’s degree in engineering, or a closely related field, with distinction.
The IE Graduate manual details the operations of the IE program. It is intended to help you plan your academic career with us. We believe that you should have the freedom and responsibility to successfully manage your own degree program in our department. To be successful, you must also familiarize yourself with the Graduate Catalog, and the resources listed in links on the right side of this page. The Graduate Catalog is the ultimate guide to policies and procedures for the Graduate College, which oversees all graduate programs. The resource links on the page contain information on admissions, news, programs and organizations, international student information, important information including dates and forms, academic integrity, and research misconduct.
We also offer online classes for MSE:
