Graduate Certificates and Online Programs
Online Master of Science in Industrial Engineering (MSIE)
The IE program in the MIE department offers a 100% online MSIE degree through LSU Online. The MSIE program focuses on developing skills to tackle immediate challenges across multiple industries and providing a basis for graduates to advance professionally. While building wide knowledge of industrial engineering, students can focus on several areas including Ergonomics and Human Factors, Healthcare, Supply Chain Systems, and Information Technology Engineering. Graduates have the ability to identify, design, and execute industrial engineering projects and research, and they pursue careers in academia, research, industry, and government.
Graduate Certificate Programs
Graduate Certificates in Industrial Engineering (online)
The IE Graduate Certificate Programs are delivered via LSU Online and will prepare students with a foundation knowledge and skills to address the complex healthcare problems that contribute to the staggering cost increases experienced yearly. These certificates will integrate industrial engineering concepts into the healthcare environment so professionals will be prepared to address healthcare effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, safety and quality.
- GC Healthcare Analytics (HA) – this certificate was designed for engineers, information technology and healthcare professionals looking to learn research and analytical skills to collect, organize, and visualize data in order to change the healthcare landscape. Using data analytics in a healthcare setting can improve patient outcomes, lower costs, improve the quality of care, enhance health delivery system performance, and optimize business operations
- GC Healthcare Systems Engineering (HSE) – this certificate was designed for engineers, managers and healthcare professionals looking to learn fundamental skills in industrial and systems engineering and a background in healthcare delivery systems and processes. Using industrial and system engineering concepts students will be equipped to spearhead cutting-edge change initiatives needed to lead health care organizations into the future.
Our Lady of the Lake Scholarship – the purpose of this scholarship is to support Industrial Engineering graduate students completing either the Healthcare Analytics Graduate Certificate or the Healthcare System Engineering Graduate Certificate. Recipients will be chosen through a competitive application process.
Graduate Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering
The interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate Program in Materials Science and Engineering (GCMSE) is designed to provide both current LSU graduate students and new graduate students in the College of Engineering and College of Science an opportunity to enhance their career opportunities in industry, government laboratories, academia, and entrepreneurship. The program emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the study of materials and the engineering application of their properties.
