Students enter in the Fall term and can finish as soon as the following August, or engage in a summer internship to complete the program by the end of the following Fall. Students are required to take the equivalent of 12 three-credit courses (36 credits), in the following areas:

at least 6 courses (18 credits) within Columbia Engineering, IEOR Department
