Systems Engineering Leadership Program


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs

The mission of the Systems Engineering Leadership Program (SELP) is to educate working engineers and scientists in the engineering and business disciplines that will make them leaders of highly complex technical endeavors within their sponsoring organizations.

The SELP will confer two degrees upon its graduates: an MBA and an MS in Systems Engineering. Students may obtain either an MS in Systems Engineering or an MBA degree as a stand-alone by fulfilling the individual degree requirements. A certificate program in Systems Engineering is also available.

SELP Admissions

Both the MBA program in the College of Business Administration and the Systems Engineering Program in the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering must accept students applying to the SELP for admission. The admissions process to both Colleges will be coordinated within the University. Prospective students need to submit only one application to the LMU Graduate Division.

Course of Study

Students enrolled in SELP are advised by the SELP Program Director. Students who have taken undergraduate business courses may qualify to have some of their MBA core requirements waived (see MBA Program waiver policy). Challenge exams and waivers are at the discretion of the Associate Dean or designee.

The SELP Program requires a total of 22 courses from the Systems Engineering curriculum as well as the MBA Program curriculum. A detailed description of the course requirements for the SELP Program can be found in the section pertaining to the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering.

SELP students will be expected to meet all course requirements associated with the MBA Program classes. SELP students are expected to adhere to the policies and procedures established for all students in the MBA Program.

The MBA requirements include 12 courses listed below. Students who receive a grade of less than “B” in any course or a grade of less than “C” in any course will not have the course count toward their degree. The overall minimum GPA required for graduation is 3.0.
