Example: Planning a MS in Systems Engineering + MS in Operations Research
The MSOR has four required core courses, three selected depth courses, and three electives. MSSE has five core courses with additional requirements depending on option selected. Pursuing the two degrees separately,
ignoring double-counting opportunities, requires 20 total courses (60 semester credit hours).
By using three MSSE core courses as the MSOR electives, and applying EMIS 7370 within one of the MSSE option tracks, only 16 courses (48 semester credit hours) are required to receive both degrees. Either degree can
be completed first, and there are many alternative variations of this combined degree plan.
