The doctoral program in Industrial and Management Systems Engineering leads to a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering with an emphasis in this field. Candidates pursue advanced technical topics and learn to analyze, design and manage solutions for businesses, nonprofits and government agencies.
The program connects technical depth with social awareness and approaches engineering from a multidisciplinary perspective. Doctoral students work with faculty who have attracted major research funding, and they use facilities such as the Work Design Laboratory.
The GRE is not required for admission.
