Thank you for visiting the Industrial and Systems Engineering Prospective Student page. We are excited that you are interested in the University of Tennessee and Industrial and Systems Engineering! We hope you find the information you are looking for. If you have further questions, please email us at isedept@utk.edu.
The best part of the ISE department is their commitment to the student and the student’s best interests. Being a relatively small program at a large public university gives me the resources of a large university in a much more personal environment.

NEW STUDENTS
In addition to UT’s admission requirements, new incoming students applying to the college must also meet engineering admission requirements, found in the Undergraduate Catalog.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Transfer students are evaluated for admission by the department offering the desired degree program. Courses taken, grades, and other evidence of ability to succeed in an engineering curriculum are considered. Transfer is very simple for students transferring from Tennessee’s community colleges that have special agreements, called “articulation agreements,” with UT. Courses covered by such agreements automatically transfer to UT.
Students returning to school after some years away are especially welcome because of their contribution to classes and projects made possible by their maturity and life experiences.
