Which degree are you most interested in?
The Master of Science in industrial engineering is among the top 20 programs in the nation as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. We are thrilled to now offer it online. As an online student, you will learn from the same world-class faculty who teach on ground and who consistently receive awards for teaching and research excellence.
The overall educational objective of graduate study in industrial engineering is to improve each student’s ability to understand, analyze, and resolve problems within complex organizations. Industrial engineers must develop qualitative and quantitative abilities to assist management in such diverse organizations as banks, government, hospitals, military, and manufacturing operations. It is a dynamic field with many opportunities in nearly every industry.
ASU’s industrial engineering department emphasizes three primary areas of study: information systems engineering and management systems engineering; operations research and production systems; and quality and reliability engineering. A specialty program in international logistics is also offered.
