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.
