Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Major in Industrial Engineering

Minimum required: 129 semester credit hours

Admission Requirements

  1. The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in Industrial Engineering requires admission to the university. 

  2. In order to declare Industrial Engineering as a major, students must meet one of the following prerequisites:
    1. ACT Math score of 24 or higher,
    2. SAT Math score of 550 or higher, or
    3. credit for one of the following math courses with a grade of “C” or higher:
      MATH 1315College Algebra3
      MATH 1317Plane Trigonometry3
      MATH 1319Mathematics for Business and Economics I3
      MATH 1329Mathematics for Business and Economics II3

General Requirements

  1. The general education core curriculum courses are listed in the degree plan below along with the statewide component code number. See the General Education Core Curriculum section of this catalog for the Texas State requirements and options in the core curriculum, including Honors courses.
  2. Students must complete a minimum of 36 advanced hours (3000 or 4000 level courses).
  3. Nine semester credit hours must be writing intensive (WI).
  4. Students entering Texas State with fewer than 16 credit hours completed after high school graduation will be required to take US 1100. All others will be exempt from taking this course.
  5.  If two years of the same language are taken in high school, then no additional language hours will be required for the degree. In the absence of such high school language, two semesters of the same modern language must be taken at the college level.
  6.  The Industrial Engineering major includes all the courses required for an Applied Mathematics minor.
