Systems, Industrial and Management Engineering is a broad field that uses content from a variety of disciplines. The majority of the SIME classes are offered once a year at the 5xxx (undergraduate) and 6xxxx (graduate) level.  Most SIME courses have 4 sections.  Not all sections are available to all students. Selecting a wrong section could change tuition by thousands of dollars, invalidate scholarships, impact the availability of federal funds, or violate an international student's visa. 

Class Sections

MAIN CAMPUS: Utah resident and non-resident tuition rates

  • Section 001: Traditional university classes with in-person attendance required
  • Section 090: Online classes with no in-person attendance. The 090 section offerings change every semester and are not guaranteed to offer a path to graduation.

U ONLINE: Constant tuition per credit hour. No changes in tuition based upon Utah resident status

  • Section 290: Online delivery, no need to ever be on campus.

CONTINUING EDUCATION: Contracted distance education, only available to Northrop Grumman employees

  • Section 030: No need to be on campus.

The SIME faculty want students to be successful in both classes and life.  By providing prerequisites, the syllabus, sample lectures, and other material, interested students can quickly understand what is needed to be successful in class and gain useful skills for their life and career.  Please take the time to examine the course information. The following courses are typically offered in the noted semester, however, availability is subject to change.
