Five-Year BS/MS Program


The department offers a 5-year BS/MS non-thesis program with a major in industrial engineering for qualified students. The primary component of the program is a qualified student may take up to 9 hours of approved graduate courses for their senior undergraduate courses and have them count toward both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Qualifications for admission to the program are:
  • The student must have an earned minimum cumulative GPA of at least 3.4 to be considered for admission to the program. Conditional admission may be granted the student after completing 65 hours of the required coursework.
  • Conditional admission must be obtained before taking a graduate course that is to be used to satisfy the requirements of both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
  • Full admission may be granted after completing 96 hours of required course work as with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4 in the required coursework.
  • Conditional and full admission of a student into this program must be approved by the Department of Industrial Engineering, the College of Engineering, and the Graduate School.
  • Any course taken for graduate credit prior to satisfying all requirements for the bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering must be approved by the department head or designee and the Graduate School.
  • A student will not be eligible for a graduate assistantship until the student has satisfied all of the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.

Honors Concentration


Students, who wish to pursue the honors industrial engineering concentration, will normally be part of the Chancellor’s Honors Program. Candidates for the honors concentration in industrial engineering must complete the following requirements.

  • First-year courses for honors concentration in the engineering majors.
  • Two upper-division honors courses in industrial engineering via Honors-by-Contract or Honors Independent Study. The contract or independent study must be submitted to the Chancellor’s Honors Program for approval by the third week of the semester. (Note: These honors requirements are course substitutions for the industrial engineering major.)
  • Minimum of 3-credit hours of an honors senior design course. This requirement is normally satisfied as part of their senior capstone design course (IE 422 ).
