The Masters of Science in Systems Engineering can be pursued with or without a thesis. Each program requires 30 hours of credit beyond the Bachelors degree. Both thesis and non-thesis options require students to take six core courses in theory and application of Systems Engineering and Management

• SysEng 368: Systems Engineering and Analysis I
• SysEng 468: Systems Engineering and Analysis II
• SysEng 469: Systems Architecting
• SysEng 411: Systems Engineering Management
• SysEng 412: Complex Engineering Systems Project Management
• SysEng 413: Economic Analysis of Systems Engineering Projects

In addition to the Systems Engineering core courses, non-thesis students will take four additional courses in the following areas of specialization, allowing the student to design a program that best fits the student's career interest and opportunities:

• Computational Intelligence
• Distributed Systems Modeling
• Computer Engineering
• Aerospace Engineering
• Modeling and Simulation
• Multimedia
• Network Centric Manufacturing and Control
• Network Centric System
• Quality and Reliability
• Risk Modeling and Assessment
• Statistics
• Structures
• Infrastructure Systems Research Area
• Systems Architecting
• Systems Design Optimization
• Systems Engineering Processes and Design
