MASTER OF SCIENCE PROGRAM

The M.S. Program in Industrial Engineering comprises a minimum number of 24 credits of course work and a thesis. Students with B.S. or B.A. degrees in Industrial Engineering, engineering in general, or related fields may apply to the program. Students are expected to complete the course work in two successive semesters. However, students who must take some extra courses in IE foundations due to inadequate backgrounds may be allowed to extend their course work to three semesters. The main specialization areas in the graduate program are Production/Manufacturing, Operations Research, Systems Modeling and Analysis, and Financial Engineering.

The minimum number of 24 credits consists of two graduate seminars and eight courses. The candidates are required to take:

IE 501 Optimization Techniques I
IE 505 Stochastic Processes and Applications
IE 508 Statistical Inference
IE 579 Graduate Seminar (Non-credit)

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM

The Ph.D. Program in Industrial Engineering comprises a minimum number of 24 credits of course work and a dissertation carried out according to the regulations of the Institute. The program for students with an M.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Bogazici University will be determined according to the needs of the student by his/her advisor, subject to the approval of the Institute. Other students must satisfy the course requirements of the Industrial Engineering Master of Science Program. Some or all of these requirements can be met through equivalent courses taken in other graduate programs. The regular Ph.D. program will be determined according to the needs of the student by his/her advisor, subject to the approval of the Institute.

PHD PROGRAM in INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

Total Credits: 24
Total ECTS: 240

* ECTS and credit hours specified are the minimum required values.

** All students who do not hold an MS degree from the IE department of Boğaziçi University must take IE 501, IE 505 and IE 508 as three of their Elective Courses.

*** All students must successfully complete the requirement of having passed the "MATH 331 Metric Spaces" (or equivalent) course in order to enter the Qualifying Exam. If this requirement is not satisfied by a student at the time of registration, then the student shall register to MATH 331 (or its equivalent, approved by the Department) with Non-Credit status and obtain a minimum grade of 1.00/4.00 (at least DD). As this is part of the course requirements that must be completed in at most four semesters and before taking the Qualifying Exam, no student may be allowed to register for the exam unless this requirement is satisfied.
