The GRE requirement has been waived (and extended) for all engineering master’s applicants applying through Fall 2026!
The fully accredited MS Systems Engineering curriculum consists of thirty (30) credit hours. The curriculum has seven 3-hour core courses and three 3-hour technical electives in Systems Engineering or other related disciplines, subjected to the approval by the IME department. Offering a broad selection of technical elective study areas enables the student to focus on a specific concentration or to diversify their knowledge by expanding into new study areas. Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 at all times while enrolled in the program.
