Master of Science [M.S] Systems Engineering

  • MS in Systems Engineering at the University of Arizona is offered as a 2-year program.
  • It is an on-campus program available on a full-time basis and offered at the University of Arizona's main campus in Tucson.
  • It is a 30 unit master's degree program offering degree options to earn their degree: The Master's Report Option (30 units), the Master’s Thesis Option (30 units), or the Coursework option (33 units).
  • Systems engineering is concerned with the design, modeling, and analysis of technological systems that employ people and machines, software and hardware, material, and energy for such diverse purposes as communication, health care, transportation, or manufacturing. 
  • This department was the first Systems Engineering department in the country.  It was founded on the premise that if complex systems are to do what is intended, without unwanted side effects, they must be designed not only with imagination and technical skill but with rigorous attention to the design process itself and to the interactions among the system components and with other systems and society. 
  • Consequently, the curriculum provides students with design viewpoints and methodologies that emphasize system integration, and with the subject matter and tools for modeling and analysis especially appropriate for large complex systems, e.g., probability and statistics, system theory, decision analysis, and simulation.
