MS in Industrial Engineering 

at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Tallahassee

Candidates for admission to graduate study in Industrial Engineering must meet both university and departmental criteria. In some cases, students may be admitted on a provisional basis (see below) pending successful completion of prerequisite work. In all matters concerning admission, decisions made by the Departmental Graduate Committee are final.

Students who do not have a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering are required to complete the following prerequisite courses before undertaking graduate study:

• EGN 3443: Statistical Topics in Industrial Engineering or an equivalent course (as determined by the graduate committee), and
• MAC 2313: Calculus with Analytic Geometry III, or
• MAS 3105: Applied Linear Algebra or an equivalent course (as determined by the graduate committee), and
• ESI 3312C: Operations Research I: Deterministic, or
• ESI 4313: Operations Research II: Nondeterministic, or an equivalent course (as determined by the graduate committee)
• A class in FORTRAN, PASCAL, or C (required as evidence of proficiency in programming).

These prerequisites are intended to ensure an adequate background in mathematics, computing and engineering prior to graduate studies in Industrial Engineering. Although graduate courses may be taken before all prerequisite requirements have been satisfied, students must make significant progress each semester towards satisfying their prerequisites. Degree plans cannot be filed until after the prerequisites have been satisfied.

Students must average "B" or better on their prerequisites with no grade lower than a "C". Prerequisite courses may not be taken on a pass/fail basis. Students who have lower than a 3.0 cumulative GPA on prerequisite work will be placed on probation. If a student makes less than a 3.0 on any prerequisite work while on probation, the student will be removed from the program
