M.S. in Industrial Engineering

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

Applicants must hold a B.S. in mechanical or industrial engineering, or a closely related field, from an accredited engineering program. If the baccalaureate is in a non-engineering or science area, students may be required to complete prerequisite courses without graduate degree credit. For transfer credit, students should refer to the general policies of the College of Graduate Studies.

Application requirements: 

  • Degree: Applicants must hold a four-year bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university 

  • GPA: Applicants must have at least a 3.0/4.0 grade point average from previous undergraduate coursework or a 3.3/4.0 for previous graduate coursework 

  • Application: UToledo application required 

  • GRE:  Not required 

  • Transcripts: Required 

  • Statement of Purpose: Required 

  • Letters of Recommendation:  2 minimum; 3 preferred

  • Proof of English language proficiency: Required for students from non-English speaking countries. See University graduate admissions for minimum test score requirements and exceptions. 

Application priority deadlines for admissions and funding decisions: 

  • Fall:  March 15 

  • Spring: October 1

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The Master of Science degree program may be pursued with thesis, project and non-thesis options. Degree requirements for thesis, project, and coursework-only capstone options are provided in the table below. The department may specify additional credit or non-credit requirements for satisfactory completion as well as enhancement of degree objectives. The plan of study for the Master of Science degree must be filed before 16 hour of academic coursework has been completed. For full-time students, this normally will required that the plan of study be filed before registration for the second term.

A minimum of 12 cr hr of required or elective coursework must be at the 6000-level. A student may be required to complete more than the required minimum hours to satisfy prerequisite deficiencies specified as provisional admission conditions and/or to fulfill educational requirements for the program as specified by the advisor or department.
