  2. Exit interviews as a graduation requirements.


Four-Year Curriculum in Industrial and Management Systems Engineering

Prerequisites (State Mandated Common Prerequisites) for Students Transferring from a Florida Community College: If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.

Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the University. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade.

Students qualify for direct entry to the department if they have completed the following courses at a Community College or University in the Florida State University System (SUS) and meet all other admissions requirements of the University and College.

Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university.

Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering

The schedule that follows indicates how a diligent student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy requirements in four academic years. Students without a solid foundation or those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan a slower pace. The following sequence is intended to facilitate registration planning and is subject to change based upon course availability. The sequence may also vary based upon individual considerations. Registration assistance will be provided by academic advisors.
