Welcome to UF ISE!
The Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) at the University of Florida is a recognized leader in delivering innovative education and advancing pioneering research across a broad range of areas. Established in 1965, the department grew out of years of coursework focused on the intersection of engineering and management. Since then, it has continually expanded its teaching and research efforts to encompass key ISE domains such as optimization, information systems, and supply chain and logistics.
This commitment to excellence has attracted exceptional faculty and students whose contributions have enriched the curriculum and led to impactful research. Today, the department is ranked among the top public universities and is actively developing new research concentrations in data analytics and human systems. It is also investing in state-of-the-art laboratories to support hands-on student learning and cutting-edge research.
The program is ABET-accredited and offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in Industrial & Systems Engineering.
