Master of Science in Systems Engineering

The MS in Systems Engineering program is focused on providing design, modeling, and analytical methods for sociotechnical systems in various application domains such as aerospace, communication, defense, health care, transportation, and manufacturing. This department was the first Systems Engineering department in the country. It was founded on the premise that if complex systems are to do what is intended, without unwanted side effects, they must be designed not only with imagination and technical skill, but with rigorous attention to the design process itself and to the interactions among the system components and with other systems and society. Consequently, the curriculum provides students with design viewpoints, methods, and tools for modeling and analysis that are especially appropriate for large complex systems. This program is also available online.

A Bachelor’s degree from an institution recognized by the UA. Students who do not have a degree equivalent to the UA Bachelor of Science degree in Systems & Industrial Engineering may be admitted into the graduate certificate program, but may be required to complete some undergraduate deficiency courses prior to enrolling in graduate courses. You must have a 3.0 or higher GPA in your undergraduate degree or your last 60 units of your undergraduate degree.
