Masters Equivalent Coursework if Applicable (32 credit hours)
Students are often admitted to the PhD program with an applicable MS/MA and can proceed directly to Stage II; however, if you were admitted directly from a BS/BA degree, you will need to complete these 32 credit hours of MS coursework. The MS Equivalent coursework can be found in the PhD Degree Requirementsrequirements for Industrial Engineering and Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering.
Please understand that we are not overly rigid that you must complete ALL aspects of these 32 credit hours; however, it is highly recommended that you have the Masters equivalent coursework done by the time you complete your qualifying exams. While we anticipate you will pass the exams, you are not able to continue with the PhD program if you do not. Therefore, it is highly advised you have the Masters equivalent coursework complete in case you must exit the PhD program with your Masters.
