Career and Academic Opportunities

A Double Owl Pathway from a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering to an M.S. in Data Science and Analytics gives you a powerful career advantage: the ability to understand complex systems and use data to improve them. You’ll build a strong foundation in process improvement, operations, logistics, systems thinking and problem-solving, then add advanced skills in analytics, modeling and data-driven decision-making. It’s a smart path for students who want to lead in fields like supply chain, manufacturing, healthcare, technology, consulting or business intelligence — and graduate prepared to turn data into better decisions, stronger systems and real impact.
