This program is a collaboration between BGSU’s College of Technology, Architecture and Applied Engineering and the Schmidthorst College of Business. It is one of the very few programs in the nation that blends engineering skills with business skills.
Internships and Career
This program offers an optional internship or study abroad experience to Panama to see in action the international effects of logistics and systems design from the curriculum.
The purpose of your internship experience is to gain working knowledge about the daily roles and responsibilities of professionals in a logistics and systems engineering occupation in whatever area you are interested in exploring.
You will develop the management and leadership skills to promote a productive working environment in logistics and systems engineering occupations. This will also promote the student’s personal and career development through interaction with the supervisor and members of the organization or company.
MS-LSE graduates will be competent to occupy positions such as engineering manager, logistics manager, supply chain analyst, healthcare analyst, industrial engineer, plant manager, systems integrator, process improvement manager and engineering operations manager.

Curriculum
The Master of Science in logistics systems engineering program is composed of 30 credit hours post bachelor’s and is designed to teach students to solve problems that arise in logistics and systems engineering settings. You will learn to understand the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
Major coursework includes analyzing logistics transportation and distribution systems; integrated logistics planning and design; supply chain management; healthcare systems engineering; demand-driven supply chain planning and operations; quality management in healthcare delivery; data mining; project management; and your graduate internship or study abroad experience. The program culminates in a six-credit-hours thesis or a three-hours capstone project.
Some MTM program courses are offered online only, while other courses are offered in both online and face to face formats. Students can complete this program online if they select courses carefully. International students would be able to select courses that meet USCIS requirements.

The Master of Science in logistics and systems engineering (MS-LSE) is an interdisciplinary program, which focuses on logistic, lean, quality, production and healthcare systems. Students may enter the program at the beginning of any semester and must have a bachelor's degree in any engineering, technology, applied sciences, business or related academic disciplines. For regular admission in the program, applicants must meet the following requirements:
Applicants must submit their resumes listing educational background and job experience, among others.
A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) is required for regular admission to the program. All Graduate College admissions policies pertaining to GPA requirements will be followed for this program.
Applicants must submit official scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) may be submitted in place of the GRE. GRE may be waived in case-by-case instances when an applicant has a graduate degree from a U.S. institution or at least five years of relevant and progressive experience. Applicants must submit their graduate transcripts showing degree completion or a one-page summary of their job experience stating job responsibilities, duration, accomplishments, and supervisor contact information.
Scanned copies of transcripts from previously attended institutions are required to complete an application. Final official or notarized copies of transcripts and diplomas will be required upon admission.
Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation addressed to the graduate coordinator. These letters should come from individuals with knowledge of the applicant’s qualifications and ability to successfully complete graduate study. Examples of these individuals include past professors, supervisors, or colleagues holding a graduate degree.
International applicants are also required to submit scores from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTEA) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
