The Master's degree in Industrial and Management Engineering at Montana State University is designed to accommodate a variety of students with a diversity of interests. Students may emphasize human factors , productions systems, operations research, and manufacturing or opt for advanced training in multiple areas.
Every attempt is made to tailor programs to each students's background, interests, and goals.
The department also participates in the Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering degree coordinated through the College of Engineering. Students with bachelor's degrees in Industrial Engineering from ABET accredited institutions will normally be able to qualify for the master's program by completing the minimum requitements. Students with other backgrounds may be required to make up certain subject matter deficiencies. This possibility is called to the attention of non-industrial engineering majors as it could qualify them to move more readily into positions of managerial responsibility in a minimum period of time. Transfer Credits Transfer graduate credits may be accepted subject to the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies .
