Georgia Institute of Technology College of Engineering 50 courses 30 total credits
The School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE) offers eight master's degrees: All proposed master's degree programs require thirty semester credit hours with the exception of MS QCF (thirty-six credit hours) and MS HS (thirty-three credit hours). None of these MS programs contains a thesis option. A student seeking a master's degree must have a bachelor's degree and typically one earned in engineering, science, mathematics, or some other field that provides an adequate background for the successful completion of one of ISyE's programs. Students having backgrounds from unaccredited degree programs or in programs that are found lacking in relative substance can expect to first take preliminary coursework in order to elevate their preparation to the level required. The prerequisite coursework for the various master's degrees includes strong performance in probability, statistics, linear algebra, and calculus. Every MS curriculum is based on core classes offered from the School of ISyE, as well as electives offered by ISyE and other Georgia Tech schools in engineering and science. The MS SCE and MS QCF are professional degree programs with separate curriculums from the other regular MS degrees.
