Academics | Master of Science Degree in Engineering Systems

The engineering systems master of science degree option serves students in one of four categories:

• it is the engineering SM for many LGO students,
• it can serve as the home for students interested in the Human-Systems Engineering track,
• it can serve as the home for students interested in the Health Care Systems track,
• and it can serve as a dual degree for MIT graduate students wishing to broaden their research into the examination of an engineering systems problem.

A very few exceptional candidates may also be admitted directly to the engineering systems master’s degree option, but only in cases where there is a clear and compelling academic match, and support is forthcoming. Often these students are prospective PhD students whose research interests are not a match for one of ESD’s established Master’s Programs and who are interested in acquiring research experience to strengthen their application to the PhD Program.
