Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

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 MA 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.

Admissions

Both the MBA Program in the College of Business 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 the SELP Program are advised by the SELP Program Coordinator. 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.

The SELP students will be expected to meet the course requirements in both the Systems Engineering and the MBA programs. SELP students will be expected to adhere to the policies and procedures established for all students in the MBA program. The System Engineering portion of the requirements (11 courses) is exactly the same as those listed above under “Systems Engineering Program Requirements.”

The MBA requirements include 13 or 14 courses. Additional information about the MBA program may be found in the MBA section of this Bulletin. Students who receive a grade of less than “B” in any 500-level course or a grade of less than “C” in any 600-level course will not have the course count toward their degree. The overall minimum GPA required for graduation is 3.0.
