Masters of Industrial Engineering, MIE

The Master of Industrial Engineering (M.I.E.) is designed to be a professional degree for the professional, practitioner-oriented individual who seeks graduate-level breadth in the field. It is intended as a terminal degree for self-supported, military, part-time, and co-op students preparing for a career in industry, government, or consulting. Thus students pursuing this degree normally would not be considered for assistantship awards. No final oral examination or thesis research is required for this degree. Project work (up to six credit hours) is optional. Thus this degree may be obtained by course work only.
