Businesses can only function at their best when they make the effort to implement efficient and cost-effective operating techniques, and professionals who know how to develop, modify, improve, and troubleshoot the processes associated with production or service are in high demand. With the Online Master of Science in Industrial Engineering from LSU Online, students will be prepared to enter the workforce in multiple different fields beyond manufacturing, such as energy, IT, analytics, healthcare, banking, transportation among others. Students will gain skills in problem identification and solving through experiment design, data collection, and data analysis, as well as gain a broad knowledge base in industrial engineering as a whole. The MSIE develops skills to tackle immediate challenges across multiple industries and provides a basis for graduates to advance professionally in academia, research, industry, and government. While building a wide knowledge of industrial engineering, students can focus on several areas, including ergonomics and human factors, healthcare, supply chain systems, and information technology engineering.

Bachelor’s degree from accredited U.S. or equivalent from a foreign institution. Although there are no restrictions regarding the major area of study pursued in the baccalaureate program, graduates of curricula outside the program area will be required to satisfy prerequisite requirements in the program area. This prerequisite work will not carry graduate credit, but is intended to satisfy deficiencies. The number of courses required will depend on the student's background and preparation; such requisite courses may have pre-requisites that need to be fulfilled prior to enrolling in those courses.
While professional licensure and certifications are available in fields related to our degree programs, our programs do not directly result in licensure or certification. Licensure in fields related to engineering, construction management, or computer science generally falls under the jurisdiction of external organizations such as state licensing boards. For example, engineering licensure in Louisiana is governed by Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying (LAPELS) Board. If you intend to pursue such credentials, we advise you to contact the applicable authority to familiarize yourself with their specific requirements. Further, you may contact the associate dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Engineering (coeasscdean@lsu.edu) with questions related to licensure or certification.
