MS in Systems Engineering
Master of Science (MS) in Systems Engineering students must take 32 credits, all of which must be at the 500 level or higher. Courses used to satisfy the Core requirements cannot also be used to satisfy the Concentration requirement. The coursework requirements for the MS degree are as follows:
- Core (three courses)
- Concentration (two courses from one of the concentration areas in systems engineering), and Thesis or Graduate Project (at least 4 credits but no more than 8 credits of Thesis or Graduate Project)
- MS students must also satisfy the advanced technical course requirement by taking at least two 700 or higher level courses from the systems engineering concentration areas, or courses approved in advance by the Systems Engineering Graduate Committee
- The remaining required MS credit hours remain unstructured and can be chosen, with advisor approval, to meet an individual student’s academic needs.
MS students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 to remain in good academic standing and to graduate. All graduate courses are counted in the GPA. Grades of C– or lower are not acceptable for the MS degrees.
