Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering
 
1. Graduation Requirements
  A total of 75 credits after the B.S. degree, of which 18 credits are toward dissertation work, and 57 credits are towards course work. Of the 57 credits of course work, up to 24 credits of Industrial Engineering-related course at the M.S.-level may be applied towards the 57 course credit requirements. ( check Program Handbook )
 
2. Academic Advisor
  All students enrolled in the graduate program must have an academic advisor. Upon admission to the program, the Graduate Program Coordinator will act as the student's advisor on a temporary basis. Ph.D. students must choose a major professor by the end of the second semester. Thereafter, the major professor will also serve as the Academic Advisor. The major professor must be a graduate faculty as designated by the School of Graduate Studies.

The Ph.D. committee will consist of four members. The chair of the committee will be the major professor, and may include at most one member from outside the department.
 
3. Specializations
  There are three areas of specialization available to Ph.D. students: Human-Machine Systems Engineering (HMSE), Management Systems Engineering (MSE), and Production Systems Engineering (PSE).
