MA/MS in Systems Engineering

The master's in systems engineering teaches the processes, tools and techniques used to create effective systems. Students learn to manage cost, schedule and performance across a product or service lifecycle. The interdisciplinary program offers project experience across industries with modern modeling and simulation tools. Faculty are practicing engineers, and students can meet leaders from industry and the international systems engineering council. Graduates work at defense, aerospace and research organizations. Graduate study at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is built around close work with faculty. Students can usually tailor coursework to their own professional aims, and the degree suits both recent graduates and people already working in the field. Prospective students can request information, review the application requirements and start an application through the university's graduate admissions pages.
