Systems Engineering, MS: NYU-ePoly

Systems engineers manage the details of large projects encompassing multiple disciplines. One day they work with physicists and astronomers; the next, architects and mathematicians. Typically without a specialty of their own, systems engineers must be proficient in enough technical areas to be able to do their job well. They must also know how to manage budgets, maintain schedules, meet performance goals, and work harmoniously with others to ensure a project’s success.

*Note: The online versions of our MS  Systems Engineering program is pending NY state approval.

Degree Requirements

You must complete 3 core courses and 2 tracks; at least 1 must be a core track. A minimum of 3 courses should be taken in a track. One course in each track may be a core course. You can choose the remaining credits (up to 9) from any science, engineering, and management courses. Should you choose to write a MS thesis (6 credits), only 2 courses in a track are required. The total number of credits required is 30, and at least 15 credits should be from EL-prefixed courses. A GPA of 3.0 or above is required in all graduate courses.
