Industrial and Systems Engineering — ABM

Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Curriculum for the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering

The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's (ABM) program provides an opportunity for highly motivated undergraduate students to gain a depth of understanding and experience of industrial and systems engineering beyond that of typical bachelor's level graduates. 

The Bachelor of Industrial and Systems Engineering or the Business Engineering Technology Minor can lead to a Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering or a Master of Engineering Management in the ABM program. Below is an example curriculum for a student in the Bachelor of Industrial and Systems Engineering pursuing the Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering.

Junior and Senior Year for Students in ABM Program - Industrial and Systems Engineering

Approved graduate level INSY electives can be taken in the ABM program to replace INSY electives or TECH electives at the undergraduate level for students pursuing the Bachelor of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Courses marked with an asterisk are those that can be substituted with graduate level courses by students enrolled in the ABM program to meet nine undergraduate hours during their junior and senior year and nine graduate hours to be used toward their graduate degree.
