Master of Science in Industrial Engineering

Wichita State's MS in Industrial Engineering requires 30-33 credit hours and offers three graduating options: thesis, project or coursework. Specialisations include data analytics, operations research and systems engineering, production and supply chain analytics, quality and reliability, manufacturing engineering and automation, and human systems engineering. Industry-recognised certifications may count toward up to 6 credit hours of the curriculum requirements. Applicants need an undergraduate degree in engineering, science, business or a related field with a minimum 3.00 GPA and satisfactory completion of Calculus II and Engineering Economics; non-engineering majors may need 9-15 credit hours of undergraduate coursework. What the fee covers: the graduate non-resident (international) rate of $903.59 per credit hour, effective Fall 2026, over 18 credit hours in an academic year — the load Wichita State's own international cost page uses. Tuition only; mandatory fees are extra. Fee year: 2026-27 (the fee schedule is dated 'Effective 2026 Fall Term'). English requirement as published: official TOEFL, IELTS Academic or PTE Academic scores are required if your first language is not English; the page states no minimum score. Before you budget: the 3.00 GPA minimum is on a US 4.0 scale. Add fees: WSU's international cost page quotes an all-in $20,100 tuition and fees for a nine-month, 18-credit-hour year, against the tuition-only figure shown. Note that the degree can run to 33 hours rather than 30, which adds roughly half a semester of tuition.
