Graduate students in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) at North Dakota State University work in partnership with faculty advisors on problems at the cutting edge of 21st century engineering. Students will have one or more professional papers published in respected professional journals or conference proceedings, in addition to their disquisition document.

ADMISSION

Graduate study in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering is open to all qualified baccalaureate graduates from universities and colleges of recognized standing. In addition to NDSU Graduate School requirements, applicants must submit a GRE score.

In order to be assured of full consideration for fall admission, applicants must submit an application to EngineeringCAS and submit all required materials before March 1. Applicants seeking admission for spring semester should ensure that the application file is complete before August 15.

FUNDING

There are a limited number of teaching assistantships available in IME, which are normally assigned as support for classes with large enrollments and/or heavy laboratory content. Research assistantships are offered when student's capabilities and background experience match the needs of the project.

Full assistantships are for half-time employment (20 hours per week). In addition to the stipend, graduate assistants may receive a graduate tuition waiver. Tuition waivers cover base tuition for NDSU graduate credits only. Students are responsible for differential tuition, student fees, and tuition for non-graduate level credits taken or Cooperative Education credits.
