Description
Location(s): Main Campus Close Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs The Master of Science in Healthcare Systems Engineering (MS HSE) degree is offered through the School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE). The MS HSE degree provides a balance of theory and practical knowledge for the practice of the profession and/or for advancement to a doctoral program. In recognition of the high concentration of healthcare providers in the greater Binghamton area, this program has been structured to serve both full-time and part-time graduate students. This program prepares individuals for professional or leadership roles in various healthcare areas, including hospital operations management, health systems engineering, health information technology, and consulting. Students in this program will attain a wide variety of industrial and systems engineering tools and skill sets, such as modeling and simulation, statistical process control, Lean Six Sigma, data science and analytics, reliability modeling, scheduling, human factors engineering and ergonomics, and optimization, among others. Important Information: Many of the graduate courses in the School of SSIE are also offered through Watson Online (Watson College Distance Learning Program). All of the School of SSIE graduate programs (including all available concentrations) are available fully online in addition to the traditional on-campus offerings. Any graduate student who may have taken an undergraduate course that is cross-listed with a graduate course will already have earned the credit for the undergraduate course. Note that the student will not be eligible to earn graduate-level credit for the cross-listed graduate course at a later date and will not be eligible to take the course again at the graduate level.
