MS in Systems Architecting & Engineering (MSSARE) - The Basics

Program Goals

This program is designed to provide graduate engineers and engineering managers with the advanced knowledge and skills necessary for the conception and implementation of complex systems. The emphasis is on the processes by which complex systems are conceived, planned, designed, built, tested, and certified. The systems engineering experience can be applied to defense, space, aircraft, communications, navigation, sensor, computer software, computer hardware, transportation, and other aerospace and commercial systems and activities.

Engineers with a firm grounding in an engineering discipline and work experience will learn tools and approaches for confident decision making in the complex technical environment of today’s corporations. Instructors with exceptional academic, professional, and industrial credentials teach within the program.

How It Works

A Master of Science degree program consisting of 27 units and a Graduate Certificate program consisting of 15 units are offered. Courses taken for the Graduate Certificate may be applied to the Master's program if the student is admitted, with departmental approval.

Students must enroll at USC and must satisfy the university’s admission requirements. Enrollment may be either full-time or part-time. Students may transfer one course (up to four units) from the other university for the Master's program, with departmental approval. Please note that the transfer of courses from other institutions is not permitted in the Viterbi School certificate program.

Most core courses are scheduled in the late afternoon or evening hours. Courses are delivered live from USC via the Internet and are also archived for the entire semester, allowing students a chance to review complete lectures or prepare for exams. Homework and class notes are transmitted through Desire2Learn, a course management system, and email. Homework and class notes are transmitted via the student portal and e-mail, and exams are proctored at a local testing center. Boeing students near the USC campus can choose to take courses on campus.

This program is provided in addition to other programs available from the university. A full overview of all programs available via DEN@Viterbi can be found here.
