Master of Science in Systems Engineering and Management

In most high-tech industries, there is a growing need for rigorous systems engineering and management training, especially in organizations that have complex systems, interdependent offices and processes, and significant societal impact. The Master of Science in Systems Engineering and Management fulfills two primary needs. The program trains engineers to be highly skilled leaders and business managers and trains business managers in advanced knowledge of established and emergent technologies and large, multifaceted engineering projects.

A joint program between the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and the Naveen Jindal School of Management, the Systems Engineering and Management master’s program features both technical and human-centered courses. Designed by world-class faculty, the curriculum provides the knowledge and skills that engineers and business managers need to design, develop and manage complex projects requiring wide-ranging scientific and business competencies.

Degree requirements: A minimum of a BS in engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics or finance from an accredited program (specifically, programs that provide adequate fundamental skills in mathematics).
