Program overview
The master of science degree in industrial and systems engineering allows students to customize their course work while working closely with industrial and systems engineering faculty in a contemporary, applied research area. Faculty members are currently conducting applied project and research work in the areas of contemporary manufacturing processes/systems, ergonomic/biomedical analysis, logistics and supply chain management, sustainable design and development, systems engineering/product development, and systems simulation.
Curriculum
The MS degree is awarded upon successful completion of a minimum of 30 semester credit hours of study. This includes eight courses and a 6 semester credit hour thesis. All students are required to complete at least two semesters of Graduate Seminar (ISEE-795, 706).

Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.
Program overview
The master of science degree in industrial engineering allows students to customize their course work while working closely with industrial engineering faculty in a contemporary, applied research area. Faculty members are currently conducting applied project and research work in the areas of contemporary manufacturing processes/systems, ergonomic/biomedical analysis, logistics and supply chain management, sustainable design and development, systems engineering/product development, and systems simulation.
Curriculum
The MS degree is awarded upon successful completion of a minimum of 45 quarter credit hours of study. This includes nine courses and a 9 quarter credit hour thesis. All students are required to complete at least three quarters of Graduate Seminar (0303-800), Graduate Thesis Seminar I (0303-888), and Graduate Thesis Research Seminar II (0303-889).
Semester conversion
Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. Each program and its associated courses have been sent to the New York State Department of Education for approval of the semester plan. For reference, the following charts illustrate the typical course sequence for this program in both quarters and semesters. Students should consult their graduate program adviser with questions regarding planning and course selection.
Program title change
Effective fall 2013, the program in industrial engineering will be renamed industrial and systems engineering. This change will not affect currently matriculated students.
