<p>I appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
I want to pursue a bachelors in Industrial Engineering, however I was wondering if it's possible for me. I currently go to a community college and am a Engineering Science major, due to receive an associates in Engineering Science upon completion of the program. Science</a> - Program Requirements</p>
<p>1) Some industrial engineering colleges require transfers to already have certain classes, what If my college doesn't offer them? </p>
<p>2) What kind of GPA is required for these programs?</p>
<p>3) Are their any colleges with an industrial engineering program you can recommend?</p>
<p>4) Which credits are likely to transfer and not transfer?
This is the program I'm enrolled in: Science</a> - Program Requirements</p>
<p>1) Just about every single IE program I researched before starting only required core classes that all schools have. This is the usual Calc 1-2, Calc based Phys 1-2, and so on. They don’t normally require a class for transfer that no one will have. If you have a specific example I can help though.</p>
<p>2) This is school specific. Some have strict cut offs, some you will just have to meet the requirements and you are in. Just aim for your best possible score. My school had a 3.0 cutoff for engineering transfers. GaTech has a 3.0 for most and their IE’s have something like a 3.3 cutoff.</p>
<p>3) All that are ABET accredited, are affordable for you, and have a good career fair. The top IE programs are listed on US News if you want to go by that.</p>
<p>4) This will also be school specific. Look at the school you are interested in and search for their transfer equivalency.</p>
<p>IE is an interesting area but there’s not so many strong IE programs compared to other engineering majors. Purdue and Georgia Tech are both excellent.</p>
<p>I am an IE student at Iowa State and I really don’t understand what you are talking about. So you are saying that most IE programs are “weak”? How would you you make an IE program “stronger”? Have students take a lot of “harder” classes that have no relevance to IE?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you misread my comment. Compared to the traditional engineering degrees, there are a lot fewer options to pursue IE. Also, sometimes IE is actually not in the engineering college but in the business or management schools.</p>

<p>Where is this? Honestly have never heard of an actual IE program that is not in the engineering school.</p>
<p>Here’s one at WPI:</p>
<p>[School</a> of Business: Industrial Engineering - WPI](<a href=“http://www.wpi.edu/academics/business/ie.html]School”>http://www.wpi.edu/academics/business/ie.html)</p>
<p>I hate getting into “which is stronger” debates because it is so subjective, but I will say this…some IE programs are almost “applied math” programs and the various branches of optimization (combinatorial, stochastic, etc) can get very difficult.</p>
