CSU-Pueblo
The Engineering Management Track
The Engineering Management Track consists of 9
credit hours of graduate level coursework in Accounting,
Business Administration, Computer Information
Systems, Economics, Finance, Management and/or
Marketing. These credit hours must represent a
coherent plan of study as approved by the advisor and
department.
The Elective Component
The Elective Component consists of 12 credit hours of
coursework selected from the list of courses approved
as electives by the department. This list is available
through the Graduate Student Handbook and the
Graduate Program Director.
The Thesis Option
Students choosing the Thesis Option will apply 6 credit
hours of EN 599 Thesis Research to the Elective
Component. A program of study may include more
than 6 credit hours of EN 599, but no more than 6 may
count towards graduation.
Additional Program of Study Requirements
For a student to be awarded the MSISE degree, the
student’s program of study must also satisfy the
following requirements. Additionally, the program of
study must be approved by the MSISE Program
Director.
• At least 21 credit hours must be in graduate level
engineering courses.
• No more than 12 credit hours of 400 level
Engineering courses may count towards the
Program of Study.
• No more than 9 credit hours of graduate coursework
may be accepted as transfer credit from
another institution.
• Any course taken as a prerequisite to engineering
graduate study at CSU-Pueblo may not be
counted towards graduation and must be taken for
credit (i.e., not audited).
Advising
Each semester, a student must meet with his or her
advisor and be advised before the student can register
for classes. Students are generally advised by the
MSISE Program Director, unless the student is working
on a thesis. Students working on a thesis are typically
advised by their thesis advisors.
A candidate for the MSISE degree must work with the
advisor to design a program of study. The program of
study must be approved by the advisor and department.
This process is formalized by submitting a
graduation planning sheet to the MSISE Program
Director before the semester prior to graduation.
Admission Requirements
A successful applicant will have a quantitatively based
baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited
college or university. Students with non-quantitatively
based baccalaureate degrees may be admitted
conditionally, but additional prerequisites may be
required. Admission to the MSISE program requires
prior admission to graduate study at CSU-Pueblo
Regulations governing graduate studies are contained
in the Graduate Policies and Procedures Guide
available from the Office of Admissions.
Prerequisite Requirements for Admission
Prior to being admitted to regular status, a student is
required to demonstrate preparation for graduate study
in industrial and systems engineering. This is done
either by completing prerequisite background courses
at CSU-Pueblo, by documenting satisfactory completion
of equivalent coursework elsewhere, or by
demonstrating equivalent work and/or life experience.
Students who do no possess a satisfactory prerequisite
background may be admitted conditionally but be
required to complete prerequisites. A plan for completing
prerequisite requirements in a timely fashion is
developed by the student and advisor and must be
approved by the MSISE Program Director.
