Systems Engineering Program
provided by the University of Southern California
and the University of Missouri-Rolla

The integrated Master of Science curriculum is presented below. The M.S. program requires the successful completion of the 6 core courses shown and 4 approved specialization track courses. The certificate program requires satisfactory completion of 4 core courses and one specialization track course.

The Technical Specialization Tracks provide the Boeing engineer with the ability to address his/her technology education needs in the context of the overall Systems Engineering program.

With the permission of the Program Director of the respective university, a student may propose a different field than those shown, or a combination of shown fields.  The proposal is subject to approval based on program and university criteria. Some specialization tracks are not provided by distance education, and can only be selected if the student attends courses on campus.
