MS Programs

Master of Science in Industrial Engineering Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering Master of Science in Engineering Management Professional Engineering Management Program

Academic Standing
The Master of Science student is required to earn at least a 3.0 (or B) average to satisfy degree requirements. Any student receiving a grade of C+ or lower will be placed on probation. Two grades of C+ or lower will result in dismissal from the program. In addition, the student must meet the following criteria:

• Students are permitted to repeat a maximum of one course to improve their grade point average. Permission to repeat a course must be approved before the course is taken. Applications to repeat a course can be obtained from the Department of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering. Forms must be returned to the office for processing by the departmental "Student Advisor". Repeating a course will result in the old grade being replaced by the new grade earned.
• Students must achieve a minimum of a B grade in the courses in the core program. The core courses are detailed in the description of each of the Master of Science programs.

Requirements Established in Admission Process
Attention must be paid to any restrictions established in the admission process. Such restrictions often deal with the requirements to take courses above the thirty-two-credit minimum in the case of MSIE and MSME programs and above forty-two-credit minimum in the case of the MSEM program to make up for background deficiencies. Occasionally, there is reason to change these stipulations made in the admission process. The only way to change any requirements established in the admission process is through a "Memo of Change" initiated by the appropriate program coordinator (identified along with the program description). If such a change memo has not been processed, the student will be required to satisfy all requirements established in the admission process. This may impact the ability of the student to graduate on time.

Plan of Work
The Plan of Work is intended to assist the student in structuring the course work for the MS degree. Students are urged to discuss their program with the appropriate program coordinator (identified along with the program description). The plan of work should be filed by all students in the program before completing 12 credits. Students will be notified by the graduate program office regarding the acceptance of the plan. The plan of work is a contract that describes all requirements to be met for the degree. The plan of work should be treated as a living document. If there are any changes to your program, you must file a new Plan of Work and receive approval. Failure to keep your plan of work updated can delay graduation.

Application for Graduation
It is your responsibility to file an Application for Graduation (available online at WSU Pipeline) with the University Records Office. They are located at: 1 West Helen Newberry Joy Administrative Services Building. Their telephone number is +(313) 577-3531. This application must be filed by the first day of class of the student's final semester.
