Graduation requirements
- All students must successfully pass the six Core courses (#4-#9, 18 credits). Please note that students should be aware of the Preparatory undergraduate coursework (#1-#3) needed for their IESM graduate courses. If a student has not completed these prerequisites during their undergraduate studies, he/she should enroll in the corresponding Preparatory courses.
- Students must also choose one of three concentrations: Logistics, Data Analytics, or Sustainable Operations and Resource Management (SORM).
- Students choosing the Logistics Concentration must successfully complete six credits from the Logistics Concentration (outside of the core).
- Students choosing the Data Analytics Concentration must successfully complete six credits from the Data Analytics Concentration (outside of the core).
- Students choosing the SORM Concentration must successfully complete:
- both #13 and #14
- either #15 or #18
- either (#16 and #17) or #20
- three additional credits from the SORM concentration.
- All students must complete the Capstone requirement, through one of two alternatives: Thesis Option or Non-Thesis Option. The Thesis Option consists of #10 and #11. The Non-Thesis Option consists of #10 and #12.
- All students must complete the environmental requirement (at least 1 credit), by passing for a grade one of the following courses #13, 14, 16, 17, or 19, or through any appropriate course pre-approved by the Program Chair.
- A student must complete 45 credits for graduation, and all courses must be taken on a letter grade basis. A cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher is required for graduation. Students who wish to register for electives not listed must get prior approval from the Program Chair.
