Master of Science in Industrielle Ingenieurwissenschaften (MSIE)

The industrial engineering master’s degree is a 30-hour program that strengthens your understanding of industrial systems both in the manufacturing and service sectors, including their business and financial practices. Your training gives you tools to improve the performance of organizations by reducing their operational costs without losing the quality of products and services.

As a student in the graduate industrial engineering program, you have the opportunity to take classes in statistics and operations research along with quantitative methods of problem-solving. You will have the opportunity to conduct research in the field of your choice. These experiences strengthen your ability to solve systems problems and perform independent research projects, skills valuable to any organization. You have five years to complete the degree, though it typically takes three or four semesters. In the end, you are prepared to take on responsible positions in managing industrial enterprises.

Bradley’s graduate industrial engineering graduates are recruited by manufacturing and service industries such as hospitals, banks, and consulting organizations. In recent years, almost all industrial engineering graduates found jobs after graduation. They found employment in positions such as supply chain analysts, quality engineers, production supervisors, and systems analysts. They’re working at places such as Microsoft, John Deere, Caterpillar, Accenture, and Kohler.
