The Master of Science in Engineering Management MSEM focuses on effective decision-making in engineering and technological organizations.

The industrial engineering graduate programs are structured to support the emergence of Central Florida as a national center of high technology as well as supporting the diverse service industries in the region and throughout the nation.

This program can be taken entirely through the Center for Online and Virtual Education (COVE), which provides video‐streamed versions of classes over the Internet. More information about this program can be found at here or (407) 823‐3814.

The MSEM program offers both thesis and nonthesis options with each requiring 30 credit hours of courses. At least half of the regular coursework (including thesis hours) must be at the 6000 level. A cumulative grade-point average of B (3.0) must be maintained in the entire program of study.

A program of study must be developed and approved by the graduate program director during the first semester of enrollment.

Thesis Option: The thesis option requires 30 credit hours: 9 credit hours of required courses, 9 credit hours of concentration courses, 6 credit hours of electives, and 6 thesis credit hours. Students must also write and successfully defend a thesis.

Nonthesis Option: The nonthesis option requires 30 credit hours: 9 credit hours of required courses, 9 credit hours of concentration courses, 9 credit hours of electives, and a 3 credit Capstone course (EIN6950).

Research studies are required in one or more courses. The research study and report will focus on reviewing and analyzing contemporary research in the profession in order to help students acquire knowledge and skills pertaining to research-based best practices. In addition, students may engage in directed independent studies, directed research or a research report during their studies.

Students on assistantships must take 9 credit hours per semester (Fall, Spring) to satisfy the university's requirement for full-time status. Most students working full time take 6 credit hours per semester. At that rate, the program can be completed in 6 semesters or less. However, students with more time available and with an early start on a thesis, if applicable, can finish the program in 3 semesters.
