Join us at an upcoming information session at 12 p.m. EST on Wed., February 5:
The Industrial and Systems Engineering and Systems Science disciplines play a significant role in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare systems.
They have helped healthcare facilities improve quality management, scheduling and sequencing in outpatient clinics, and operational control, such as medical records and patient turnaround time in emergency rooms.
Hear what our recent alumni have to say about the program.
The research methodology looks at current work flow, identifies bottlenecks, and finally proposes solutions and recommendations, using modeling, simulation, problem solving, statistical analysis, human factors engineering and data mining.
The focus is on improving safety, cost, quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery processes.
This 12-month program is designed to provide individuals with a bachelor’s degree the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills for modeling, analyzing and/or designing healthcare delivery systems and processes.
Career Outlook
What does employment in this field look like?
- “Employment of medical and health services managers is projected to grow 32 percent from 2019 to 2029” ~9/1/2020
- Employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow 15 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations, adding about 2.4 million new jobs. Healthcare occupations are projected to add more jobs than any of the other occupational groups. ~9/1/2020
- Currently there are 414,000 Jobs nationally
Benefits of the program

Program Requirements
Based on the student's educational background and interests, the Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE) Department will determine if the degree program will be a Master of Science in Systems Science or a Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering, both with Health Systems concentrations.
Master of Science in Systems Science — Executive Health Systems Concentration: Candidates with a bachelor's degree in any field may apply for admission to this program.
Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering — Executive Health Systems Concentration: Candidates with a bachelor's degree in industrial and systems engineering or a related field may apply for admission to this program.
Classes are scheduled on weekends with hours generally every Saturday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., with intermittent days off, at a convenient Midtown Manhattan location. During each class, the student experiences lectures, group activities, projects and open discussions with a great deal of class participation. At the onset of the program, there is a required orientation weekend at Binghamton University's main campus.
The student must maintain at least a B average in all graduate coursework.
