With approval of the academic advisor, the above curriculum can be adjusted to meet the student’s individual educational needs.  The requirement for the MS in Systems Engineering degree is 33 semester hours (11 courses at three semester hours each).

The overall minimum GPA required for graduation is 3.0. Students who receive a grade of less than “B” in any 500-level course or a grade of less than "C" in any 600-level course will not have the course count toward their degree.

Schedule

All engineering courses are offered on the LMU Westchester campus and typically meet in the evenings. Usually courses meet one evening per week for three hours except during the summer semesters when each course meets two evenings per week for 3.5 hours.

The student completing successfully two courses each Fall and Spring semester, plus one course during each summer session will earn the MS degree in two years or less.

Scheduling of the courses is the student’s responsibility. A student is expected to make reasonable progress toward the degrees to remain in good standing at the University.  A full-time course load is considered to be two courses in the Fall and Spring semesters.
