With the Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISEN) Fast Track, you start your graduate journey during your undergraduate years and cross the finish line with a B.S. and Masters in just five years.
Fast Track Program Highlights
Streamlined Curriculum: The Wm Michael Barnes '64 Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering allows you to swap specific undergraduate courses for advanced graduate-level equivalents.
Early Access: You can begin taking 600-level courses as early as your junior or senior year.
Dual Credit Advantage: You earn credit toward your undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously.
Flexible Credit Options: You can take up to 12 credit hours (4 courses) through the Fast Track program.
Performance-Based: You must earn an A or B in each course to receive graduate credit while fulfilling undergraduate requirements.
Advantages
Higher Income: Over the course of your career, you can earn substantially more money than if you only have a bachelor’s degree.
Leadership Opportunities: You can pivot into high-paying niche positions more easily than if you only have a bachelor’s degree.
Increased Job Security: Master’s holders statistically face lower unemployment rates during economic shifts.
Save time and money: Successful completion of 3 graduate courses (one full-time graduate semester) by the end of your undergraduate journey can save you up to $17,668 dollars.
