MS, PhD
Clemson's Industrial Engineering program is consistently ranked in the nation's top thirty and offers the MS and PhD degrees. This program prepares students for the Industrial Engineering field that designs, develops, and improves integrated systems including people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. In addition to these issues, graduates learn to address communications throughout the organization while completing their specialized education. Focus areas for specialization are human factors/ergonomics and production and service systems.
Students with degrees in engineering, the physical sciences, mathematics, or related majors with a strong mathematical background may be admitted into the program. Students without this background may be required to successfully complete additional courses. The traditional arenas for the practice of industrial engineering are the manufacturing facilities of industry; however, many practicing industrial engineers are employed in non-manufacturing institutions such as hospitals, banks, and government agencies.
