The School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE) offers the following programs, which are linked at the bottom of this page:
- Undergraduate
- BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering
- Undergraduate minor in Engineering Analytics
- Graduate
- MS in Industrial and Systems Engineering
- MS in Systems Science
- MS in Healthcare Systems Engineering
- PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering
- PhD in Systems Science
- Advanced Certificate in Complex Systems Science and Engineering
For students interested in an accelerated program, the School of SSIE offers three 4+1 programs :
- BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering - MS in Industrial and Systems Engineering
- BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering - MS in Systems Science
- BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering - Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The school also offers two double-degree programs with the MS Systems Science program in collaboration with the College of Community and Public Affairs at Binghamton University and the University-wide Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University. For more information about these programs, please refer to the Systems Science, MS program.
Additionally, the school offers two Master of Engineering degrees with a specialization in either Industrial Engineering or Systems Engineering.
Undergraduate Information
The Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) curriculum builds upon the base provided by Watson College’s first-year engineering program.
You enter the BS ISE program either as a sophomore, as a transfer from another school such as community colleges or other SUNY school, or as an internal transfer.
A two-semester, senior-level design course sequence provides a capstone experience in which you are given the opportunity to apply the knowledge and techniques acquired in the program to the solution of a real-world problem. (Please note: There is a mandatory $250 per course fee attached to this two-course sequence.)
Minors in Computer Science and Sustainability Engineering are also available to BS ISE students. You can get a glimpse into the School’s efforts in health systems engineering by taking the related course offerings or conducting research in health care.
Technical and free electives may then be used by students to customize their undergraduate experience to obtain greater breadth in engineering or specialization within Industrial and Systems Engineering. Work directly with your assigned SSIE Advisor regarding any questions related to technical electives.
Graduate Information
The School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering offers graduate degrees and certificates to suit a variety of career paths.
The school offers master of science (MS) degrees in industrial and systems engineering (MS ISE), healthcare systems engineering (MS HSE), and systems science (MS SS). Within the MS SS and MS ISE degree programs, students can choose the conventional degree or may opt to pursue a specialized concentration (or track) in either engineering management (MS ISE only), health systems, or executive health systems. The executive health systems concentration is a 12-month program option offered in Manhattan, N.Y.
In addition to the master of science programs, the school offers a master of engineering (MEng) degree in two areas of specialization: industrial engineering (MEng IE) and systems engineering (MEng SE).
At the doctoral level, the school offers Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in industrial and systems engineering (PhD ISE) and systems science (PhD SS). Both doctoral programs require a minimum of three academic years of full-time graduate level study after the baccalaureate degree, or their equivalent in part-time study.
Finally, the school offers an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Complex Systems Science and Engineering.
Requirements for admission are different for each degree/certificate program, as each serves students with different backgrounds.
