Systems Engineering, Ph.D.


Systems engineering is a growing field that provides many career opportunities to graduates within this discipline. Systems Engineers work within the technology industry, from biotech to mechatronics, computer science to aerospace - any system that needs development, deployment, design, integration, and analysis will be managed by a Systems Engineer. Systems Engineers tackle projects such as life cycle management, data management, cybersecurity implementation, DevOps, control centers, algorithm design, complex hardware and software testing, manufacturing systems, best practices analyses, and others across a wide array of technological global industries. Graduates within this profession are highly sought after, as they are a fundamental asset to any successful business. The PhD in Systems Engineering is for those who desire to advance in their careers by gaining leadership and management skills in the industries related directly and indirectly to Systems Engineering.

All required courses are offered exclusively online in an 16-week asynchronous format.
