George Washington University

The systems engineering program provides broad knowledge of the "systems approach" for designing and managing large-scale engineering systems throughout the life cycle, with faculty and students exploring case studies and methodologies from NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. corporations. Graduate students can pursue their degrees in one of two focus areas: operations research and management science or systems engineering and integration. 

Students pursuing a master’s degree acquire excellent skills at the cutting edge of systems engineering. They also benefit from GW’s many contacts with industry and governmental leaders. Students may choose a thesis or non-thesis option for the degree. GW's graduate systems engineering programs are offered for the general public at GW's campus in Arlington, Va. They are also offered on site at U.S. corporate offices and facilities.
