All students are required to meet the general university admission requirements.

Additional Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, mathematics or physical science and versed in several of the basic areas of industrial engineering
• Nonindustrial engineering undergraduates may be required to take 6 credits of prerequisite courses

Additional Documentation
Your application must include the following:

• Statement of objectives: One to two pages outlining why you want to pursue a graduate degree, accomplishments/traits that would make you a good addition to our program and future plans/goals. Most statements are three to four paragraphs in length.
• Names and emails of three professional and/or academic references who will provide letters of recommendation. Your references will be contacted automatically using the email addresses that you supply, but it is your responsibility to ensure the letters are submitted before the application deadline.
• Resume/curriculum vitae
• Unofficial transcripts from each institution attended
  • Failure to list any colleges or universities from which you received a degree or enrolled in graduate coursework may result in dismissal from the university.
  • If transcripts are not in English, you must furnish a translation by an appropriate authority.
  • You will be asked for official transcripts after notification of admission.
