Doctor of Philosophy Program (Ph. D.)

A masters degree is not required as a prerequisite for entry into the Doctor of Philosophy degree program. The Ph. D. program is the main research-oriented degree program of the IME Department. It is through the research activities of faculty and students involved in this program that the viability of the masters programs and the timely evolution of the undergraduate program are assured. Based on this philosophy, the Ph.D. degree is awarded primarily as a result of the completion of original research work rather than on the basis of the completion of course work alone. Research may be carried out in Manufacturing, Operations Research, Ergonomics, Quality Engineering or some combination of these areas. A doctoral student can obtain one of the following degrees.

  • Ph. D. degree in Industrial Engineering
  • Ph. D. dual degree in Industrial Engineering and Opeations Research
  • Ph. D. degree in Industrial Engineering with a Minor in Operations Research
