Degree Requirements

Students must meet the following criteria to qualify for a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering degree:

  • Complete a minimum of 129 credit hours
  • Satisfy WVU's undergraduate degree requirements
  • Satisfy Statler College's undergraduate degree requirements
  • Complete all courses listed in the curriculum requirements with the required minimum grades
  • Attain an overall grade point average of 2.00 or better
  • Attain a WVU grade point average of 2.00 or better
  • Attain a Statler grade point average of 2.00 or better
  • A maximum of one math or science courses with a grade of D+, D, or D- may apply towards a Statler College degree
  • Complete a survey regarding their academic and professional experiences at WVU, as well as post-graduation job placement or continuing education plans.

The Statler GPA is computed based on all work taken at WVU with a subject code within Statler College (BIOM, BMEG, CE, CHE, CPE, CS, CSEE, CYBE, EE, ENGR, ENVE, ETEC, IENG, IH&S, MAE, MINE, PDA, PNGE, SAFM, SENG) excluding ENGR 140, ENGR 150, and CS 101. The WVU GPA is computed based on all work taken at WVU. The Overall GPA is computed based on all work taken at WVU and transfer work.

Students must meet the following criteria to qualify for a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering degree:

  • Complete a minimum of 19 credit hours
  • Satisfy WVU's graduate degree requirements
  • Satisfy Statler College's graduate degree requirements
  • Complete all courses listed in the curriculum requirements with the required minimum grades
  • Attain an grade point average of 3.0 or better
  • Minimum of 60% of courses must be from 500 level or above
  • Students admitted to this program must have their bachelor's and master's degree conferred simultaneously upon completion of all requirements for both degrees.
