Why this certificate?

The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers a graduate certificate program that requires four courses (12 credit hours) and may be completed online.  A student who earns the certificate will have a basic knowledge in computer modeling and data analytics for operations, including manufacturing and service systems.

You are eligible to apply if...

• You hold a bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent from an accredited U.S. institution. Exceptions to this may be approved if the student has the background needed to succeed in the graduate engineering courses.  A basic probability and statistics course is essential.
• There is no GRE requirement.

To complete the program you must...

• Certificate Curriculum:

  Students are expected to complete the four ISE courses listed below, which can be earned by both degree and non-degree seeking students: 

  • INSY 6500  Modern Tools for Data Analytics and Modeling
  • INSY 6550  Decision Support Systems for Operations
  • INSY 7120  Data Analytics for Operations
  • INSY 7130  Data Mining Techniques and Applications for Operations

  Courses may be taken in any order, but Information Technology for Operations is a prerequisite for Data Analytics for Operations.

  *View a complete ISE course list and course descriptions. Graduate courses are those listed as level ”6000” and up. Those that are also offered online have a corresponding listing with a course section beginning in "D" (e.g., INSY7300 Dxx). The course section will change from term to term. 

What can you expect?

• A student who earns the certificate will have a basic knowledge in computer modeling and data analytics for operations- including manufacturing and service systems.

• If a student chooses to pursue a master's degree, all academic credit earned from the certificate may be applied toward the graduate degree
