Program Requirements

Transferring to the University of Michigan? Please see the College of Engineering Recruitment and Admissions webpages for transfer students and view the transfer-specific program requirements.

The University of Michigan Industrial and Operations (U-M IOE) department is one of the most outstanding in the country, with consistent national rankings among the top departments in the United States. The number of students that graduate with a BSE, MSE, and/or a PhD places Michigan among the leaders and best.
