Graduate Studies: MS Industrial Engineering

Posted on June 6, 2015

/Under Graduate Studies

UPDIEOR offers two graduate programs under this program: Diploma in Industrial
Engineering and Master of Science in Industrial Engineering. The masters program offers
specialization in the areas of Production Systems (PS), Operations Research (OR),
Information Systems (IS) or Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE).

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Applicants to the graduate program should possess a Bachelors degree in Engineering (any
discipline), or in the physical and mathematical sciences. For more information, email:
gradengg@upd.edu.ph

DURATION
Maximum of five (5) years.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The masters degree requires a minimum of twenty-four (24) units of formal graduate
courses, one (1) unit of graduate seminar and six (6) units of masters thesis for a total of
thirty-one (31) units.

Those needing reinforcement of expected mathematical and analytical skills may be

required to complete up to twelve (12) units of refresher courses to ensure success in higher
level graduate courses.

Upon completion of twelve (12) units of core courses and six (6) units of IE specialization
course, a student may opt to discontinue with the program and obtain a Diploma in
Industrial Engineering. Should the student decide to return to the masters program after the
Diploma has been conferred, an additional six (6) units of IE electives and six (6) units of
electives (for a total of 12 units) need to be taken.

PROGRAM OF STUDY
The Master of Science Program offers four areas of specialization with the following study
programs (courses have a credit of 3 units each except the thesis which has 6 units and
seminar with 1 unit):
