Many (probably one-half) of our students do not have industrial engineering undergraduate degrees.  We have students from other engineering disciplines such as mechanical engineering, as well as students from other technical/science programs such as math degrees.  This topic is addressed under required background on our website.  If students need a few undergraduate classes to bring them up to speed in areas such as operations research, they can take them along with other graduate courses that they do have background for.
