Is a Masters degree in Industrial Engineering enough if you have a Bachelors in an unrelated field?

So I just got accepted into business school as an Accountant. I’m in my 3rd year and I’m 20 years old.

I like the idea of Industrial Engineering because the optimization aspect seems really interesting and I haven’t seen many girls in the field. I’ve taken some Industrial Engineering pre reqs like econ, business stats, and accounting but nothing math related besides Calc 1. I took Calc 1 and struggled immensely and ended up with a C. I’m not very mathematically inclined but I’m willing to do the work to learn.

My problem is that my college does not offer industrial engineering so I’m stuck with a few questions…

  1. Should I just finish my undergrad accounting degree (BBA in Accounting) and then get a Masters degree in IE?

  2. If I choose to do so, would I still even get jobs as an IE with a Bachelors in an unrelated field but a Masters in IE?

  3. Is it just in my best interest to try to transfer in my 3rd year to a college that offers IE if that’s even possible?

Is your business school offering “management science”? That is the same study applying not to engineering but to business.

Is your college offering “operations research” major or concentration? This is also the same study with similar and different applications.
