Industrial Engineering (B.S.) | Degree Programs | Clemson University, South Carolina

WHAT YOU’LL STUDY

Freshmen who major in engineering at Clemson are initially admitted into our general engineering program, where you’ll have a year to explore many different engineering disciplines, meet faculty from each of our engineering departments and discover which major fits your personal interests and talents. On the admissions application, you will apply as a general engineering major.

If you decide to major in industrial engineering, you’ll take classes in logistics, transportation, system safety and supply chain design. You’ll spend your days learning how to design, implement and improve the complex systems that are vital to our society.

Hands-on learning begins the moment you step into your first industrial engineering class where you’ll complete a project for an on-campus client such as parking services or Littlejohn Coliseum. Clemson offers on- and off-campus research opportunities in state-of-the-art labs, supporting research in supply chain optimization and logistics, human factors and safety in health care, and other complex environments.
