Industrial and Systems Engineering Bachelor's Degree

The program offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering which is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Industrial Engineering.

Industrial and systems engineers obtain a broad technical background with special attention to productivity, costs, quality, and human factors in production and other systems. Originally, industrial engineers worked in manufacturing systems, but the methods have found applications in many other systems, including distribution centers, information systems, hospitals, transportation networks, and financial systems.

To prepare our graduates for their job responsibilities, the primary objective of the Industrial and Systems Engineering program is to produce engineers who are able to apply ISE tools and knowledge to support, improve, manage, develop, design, or implement a project, process, or system that has a positive impact on relevant key-performance indicators, such as financial results, productivity, quality or safety. We want our graduates to actively seek to be leaders among their peers by demonstrating a professional attitude; a commitment to integrity and ethical behavior; effective communication across stakeholders; and engagement in life-long learning.

Admission Requirements

To best prepare for the demands of the academic programs in Russ College, it is necessary to have met general admissions requirements for Ohio University and completed four years of college-prep math, at least one year of chemistry or physics, and at least one additional year of chemistry, physics, or an engineering science such as engineering principles, robotics, computer science, or digital electronics. ACT and grade requirements are the same as the general University guidelines.
