ABET Accreditation Accreditation is an assurance that the professionals that serve us have a solid educational foundation and are capable of leading the way in innovation, emerging technologies, and in anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public. The program in Industrial Engineering has been accredited since 1967 by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, Admission to Industrial Engineering Program For admission to the industrial engineering program, all students must meet the requirements for admission to the College of Engineering. A grade point average of 2.25 in science, mathematics, and engineering courses is required for unconditional transfer into the department. Advancement into Industrial Engineering Professional Program Requirements for advancement into the Professional Program in Industrial Engineering are in accordance with those in the College of Engineering with the added stipulations that: Application to the Professional Program is to be made to the Undergraduate Advisor during the semester following completion of the last pre-professional course. No professional Industrial Engineering course may be taken unless the student is admitted into the professional program or obtains the consent of the Undergraduate Advisor. Professional curses may be taken to fill out a schedule in the semester that the last pre-professional course is taken. Each student must complete all pre-professional courses stipulated under "Requirements for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering" with a minimum grade of C in each course and a minimum GPA of 2.25 in each of three categories: (1) overall, (2) required math, science, and engineering courses, and (3) required IE courses. Most professional Industrial Engineering courses are offered only once a year. Students are urged to plan their course sequence schedules carefully to avoid delaying their graduation.

Fast Track Program for a Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering The Fast Track Program enables outstanding UT Arlington senior undergraduate students in Industrial Engineering to satisfy degree requirements leading to a master's degree in Industrial Engineering while completing their undergraduate studies. When senior-level students are within 15 hours of completing their undergraduate degree requirements, they may take up to nine hours of coursework designated by the Industrial Engineering Program to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. In the limiting case, a student completing the maximum allowable hours (9) while in undergraduate status would have to take only 27 additional hours to meet minimum requirements for graduation. Interested UT Arlington undergraduate Industrial Engineering students should apply to the Industrial Engineering Program when they are within 30 hours of completing their bachelor's degrees. They must have completed at least 30 hours at UT Arlington, achieving an overall GPA of 3.0 or better in all work done at UT Arlington and in the last 30 hours. Additionally, they must have completed nine hours of specified foundation courses with a minimum GPA of 3.3 in those courses. Contact the Undergraduate Advisor or Graduate Advisor in Industrial Engineering for more information about the program. BS to PhD Program The BS to PhD track in Industrial Engineering requires 30 credit hours including 18 hours of diagnostic coursework, a three credit hour elective and nine credit hours of research coursework.
