Overview

Industrial and Management Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute offers the Master of Science and Master of Engineering degrees in Industrial and Management Engineering. Both degrees require a minimum of 30 credit hours. The Master of Science degree requires a thesis.

The Master of Industrial and Management Engineering degree at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is a non-thesis option. All applicants to the IME Master’s programs must take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).

Both masters are not restricted to applicants with an undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering. Applicants with a strong quantitative undergraduate degree or with a quantitative master’s degree desiring a change in career path are encouraged to apply.

What preparation is desired?

Applicants with strong quantitative foundation bachelor degrees are considered favorably for admission. This foundation includes a sequence of calculus based mathematics courses.
