Your prior education must include a degree in a science or engineering field.

A minimum of one year of relevant full-time work experience in that field and a detailed work résumé must be submitted.

Applicants need to hold a degree issued by a program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET in order to be admitted to the Master of Science in Engineering degree program. Students admitted without a Bachelor of Science degree from an EAC of ABET-accredited program, or who did not complete the prerequisites that meet all of the EAC of ABET accreditation requirements for attainment of student outcomes and for sufficient math, science, and engineering design at the Bachelor of Science level, will receive a regionally-accredited Master of Science degree.

When reviewing an application, the candidate's academic and professional background will be considered.

Applicants typically have earned a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (B or above) in the latter half of their undergraduate studies. Significant relevant work experience or a graduate degree in a relevant technical discipline may be considered in lieu of meeting the GPA guideline.

Systems engineers coordinate and oversee the translation of an operational need into a system designed to meet that need. The systems engineering process integrates the inputs of all the required technical disciplines into a coordinated effort that meets established performance, cost, and schedule goals.

Our part-time graduate program in Systems Engineering provides professionals with in-depth knowledge and technical skills in the field of systems engineering and systems of systems, and prepares students for careers within industry and government. The program addresses the needs of engineers and scientists engaged in all aspects of analysis, design, integration, production, and operation of modern systems. Instructors are practicing systems engineers who employ lectures and readings on theory and practice with realistic problem scenarios in which students, individually and collaboratively, apply principles, tools, and skills.
