Overview
The College of Engineering offers a dual-degree program that culminates with students receiving a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and a Master of Science in Sports Engineering concurrently. This program is available only to qualified students enrolled in the undergraduate program in Industrial Engineering at the University of Miami. This program is intended to give qualified Industrial Engineering students the opportunity to acquire both a baccalaureate degree (BSISE) and a Master of Science (MS SPEN) degree in five years rather than the 4 plus 2 years (approximately) that is traditionally expected. The two degrees are awarded simultaneously when the combined requirements have been met for both degrees.
- Juniors enrolled in ISE who have maintained at least a 3.0 CGPA have the option to apply for admission to the combined B.S. ISE-M.S. ME program.
- Those who are accepted into this accelerated program must maintain at least a 3.0 CGPA and a minimum of a 3.0 GPA for the final 30 credit hours to meet the requirements of the Graduate School.
- Up to 3 credit hours of technical electives earned during the fourth year can be counted toward the 30 credit hours required for the M.S. degree. If their schedule allows, students may be able to complete an additional 9 credits of graduate classes during their fourth year.
- Students must be registered for a minimum of 12 undergraduate credit hours per semester in their fourth year.
- Students can register for a maximum of 6 graduate credit hours in each semester of their fourth year.
- If a student needs to withdraw from the B.S. ISE/MS SPEN program, then all the requirements for the BS degree must be completed for graduation with the B.S. ISE degree.
Admission Requirements
The dual B.S. IE/M.S. SPEN program is available only to qualified undergraduate students enrolled in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Students must have undergraduate student status and a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.0 at the time of application.
Qualified students are strongly advised to apply to the dual degree program as early as possible in their junior year to facilitate academic advising and course selection in the second semester of their junior year. Students opting for an M.S. degree in a discipline different from their B.S. degree may need to take some prerequisite coursework. Before submitting an application, students should discuss the program and possibility of entering with an academic adviser.
Graduation Requirements
Students accepted into the dual degree program must maintain at least a 3.0 Cumulative GPA, and meet all other pertinent Graduate School requirements, including a minimum of 3.0 GPA in the credits applied toward the MS degree.
Admission Requirements
- Juniors from any of the four ISE Concentrations who have maintained at least a 3.0 CGPA have the option to apply for admission to the combined BS ISE -MS SPEN program.
- Those who are accepted into this accelerated program must maintain at least a 3.0 CGPA and a minimum of a 3.0 GPA for the final 30 credit hours to meet the requirements of the Graduate School.
