Industrial Engineering

Overview

Key facts

Students are expected to register for at least 10 credits applicable toward their degree in each quarter during the nine-month academic year. The Industrial Engineering program from University of Washington consists of a minimum of 41 credit hours. You have two options for earning your degree, a coursework only option and a thesis option. The thesis option is recommended for students who plan to pursue a doctorate.

Assistantships and fellowships

Limited financial assistance is available for full-time, regular-status students through teaching assistantships (TA), research assistantships (RA), and fellowships. Financial assistance is offered on a highly competitive basis to those applicants with the very best records.

ISE automatically considers all applicants for funding whose application materials are received by the January 2 deadline.

Financial offers for autumn quarter applicants are made in April. Typically, 90% of the financial aid available for new students is offered and accepted by late May. Students who wish to enter in the winter, spring, or summer quarters should note that the availability of aid for new students for these quarters is limited.

Students are encouraged to seek outside sources of support, including fellowships from the National Science Foundation, other federal agencies and laboratories, private foundations, and foreign governments.
