Bachelor of Science [B.S] - Master of Science [M.S] [Industrial Engineering] From Kansas State University

The BS/MSIE degree is only open to students that are currently pursuing a BSIE at KSU. Since there is some overlap between undergraduate and graduate study, some graduate courses will satisfy the degree requirements for the undergraduate degree. A maximum of 9 credit hours from the M.S.I.E. degree can be counted toward the B.S.I.E. degree. A more detailed description can be found in KSU?s Undergraduate Catalog.

The MSIE program can be completed with either a thesis or coursework only option. Both options require the completion of 30 graduate credit hours.

The MSOR program can be completed with either a thesis or coursework only option. Both options require the completion of 30 graduate credit hours. The MSOR degree is offered to on-campus and to a limited number of off-campus students through distance learning media.

The MEM degree is a course-work only program that is designed for working professionals. The courses are taken by off-campus students through distance learning media. This program requires the completion of 30 graduate credit hours.

The PhDIE degree requires either 60 hours of graduate credit beyond the M.S. degree or 90 graduate credit hours without an M.S. degree. 9 out of 30 credit hours after M.S. degree will be restricted to pre-specified IMSE courses.?

A significant original research project documented in the form of an acceptable dissertation is required. The dissertation must be of sufficient quality and importance to merit publication in a refereed journal.
