Master of Science - Systems Engineering

Our Master of Science in Systems Engineering Program along with our Master of Science in Engineering in Civil Engineering develop a sound understanding of the scientific principles upon which engineering research and practice are based. The world needs strategic experts with deep understanding of its complex sociotechnical systems who can develop interventions that make a positive difference on the life of the population.

The hands-on experience and cutting-edge cur­riculum of the MS in Systems Engineering (MS-SE) degree provides students with a world-class education in both qualitative and quantitative understanding which underlies systems engineering research and practice. Students graduate with a deep understanding of the complex processes that underlie societies, they are familiar with advanced modeling tools, and are at a vantage point to tackle the many problems that societies face.

Students in the MS-SE program learn from world-renowned faculty who are expanding the boundaries of their fields and leading global projects and are given ample opportunities through seminars and internships to connect with key players in public agencies and private firms, both at the national and international level.

If you are looking to advance your career, interact with top faculty, create a network that includes government, multilaterals, and top companies, and be part of the worldwide network of JHU alumni, the MS-SE is the program for you.

Students pursuing this degree can take courses on topics that include network modeling, system dynamics, probabilistic simulations, optimization, risk modeling, analysis of complex infrastructure systems, public health, urban resilience, and more.

The MS in Systems Engineering  focuses on network modeling, mathematical modeling, optimization, analysis of complex infrastructure systems, public health, urban resilience.

Typically only limited financial support is available for M.S. students. Funding decisions will be made on an individual basis by the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering and will be communicated during the admissions process.
