Applicants for classified standing will ordinarily be expected to have completed work for the BS degree in industrial engineering (or its equivalent) at San José State University or at another university with an accredited curriculum, with a grade point average of 3.0 ("B") or better in the upper division work (last 60 units).
Applicants who do not have a baccalaureate degree in industrial engineering (or equivalent) but who meet university requirements for graduate admission and whose academic records or professional achievements give promise of satisfactory performance in graduate study in industrial engineering may be admitted to Conditionally Classified standing. Applicants whose bachelor's degrees are not in industrial engineering will be required to take additional courses (prerequisites), which will not be counted in the graduate degree program for the MS - Industrial and Systems Engineering. The GRE General Test is not required.
Students seeking MS degrees in the College of Engineering must meet the general university requirements for candidacy as outlined in the Academic Requirements section of this catalog. The University requires that all graduate students demonstrate competency in written English as a condition for advancement to candidacy. Please refer to the SJSU catalog section titled “Competency in Written English” for details. For graduate courses that meet the competency in written English requirement, please refer to the Graduate Studies and Research website at www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate aptitude for advanced professional work in industrial engineering, as measured by instructor appraisals, analysis of previous academic work or other appropriate means. Admission to candidacy and approval of programs will be handled by a faculty committee and the student's advisor.
Students who have been admitted to candidacy for master's degrees in engineering must thereafter maintain grade point averages of 3.0 ("B") or better in all work taken in the graduate program, and in the minimum 30 semester units of approved graduate work.
All students are required to complete a thesis, project, or pass a comprehensive examination covering either their graduate course work or major project.
The general requirements for the MS - Industrial and Systems Engineering include completion of at least 30 semester hours of approved work. The course requirements consist of at least two core courses, four courses in a specialty area, one elective and a thesis or comprehensive-exam/project. Five specialty areas are offered: Systems and Information Modeling, Production and Quality Assurance, Human Factors, Service Systems Engineering and Supply Chain Engineering. The minimum requirements are:
