Master of Engineering in Health Systems Engineering

The Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Health Systems Engineering (HSE) produces graduates with strong fundamental skills in industrial and systems engineering and a strong background in health systems and processes. Graduates will be ideally positioned for skilled professional management roles aimed at improving quality, streamlining processes and improving efficiency in health systems. This degree program is designed to prepare graduate students for engineering and management careers in firms engaged in delivering health-related products and services.

Students seeking to enroll to the program should have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, mathematics, science, or business.  Students should be quantitatively oriented and have completed a calculus based probability and statistics course. A candidate lacking certain background may be required to take background courses.

The program consists of 30 credit hours of course work that may be completed either in-person or online.

Each student is required to take 9-credit hours of graduate coursework in the area of health and an additional 9-credit hours of graduate coursework in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE).  The student rounds out their degree by taking 6 additional credit hours of relevant coursework from the College of Engineering and 6 additional credits hours of relevant coursework from any department at Lehigh University. All coursework must be approved by the HSE Master Program Director. The above total of 30 credit hours of coursework may include project-based courses as well as a masters thesis.
