Industrial & Systems Engineering
Speed School is the only place in the commonwealth of Kentucky where you can study Industrial & Systems Engineering. We offer BSISE, MSISE (on campus and online), MEngEM (online only), and PhD. The three required Co-ops in the BSISE program provide students needed practical experience to help them bridge theory and practice. The unique Accelerated Pathway allows receiving both BS and Master’s degrees in <5 years. Two online graduate programs (MSISE and MEngEM) allow working professionals from diverse backgrounds (including non-engineering) to acquire advanced training and grow in their career. Merit-based scholarships are available in all programs to help offset educational costs.
Student Experience"People who graduate with this degree will go into process improvement, supply chain, administration. Once I graduate, I can confidently say that I'm ready to enter the workforce and be a competitive young professional."
