I will graduate with a BA in Industrial engineering from a university in Peru.

I was wondering what doors does my bachelors degree open?

I really like science and engineering.

So far i can only think of MBA, something to do with OR, stochastic simulation or statics. If i had to choose one of those i would probably go with simulation but i was wondering if i could pick something more ''crazy''. for example genetics, chemistry, automation, etc.

It depends on the institution you apply to and what they are willing to accept. Obviously those disciplines closest to that of your Bachelor's will have the least issue.
 

Related to What kind of graduate program can an industrial engineer choose?

1. What is the difference between a Master's and PhD program in industrial engineering?

A Master's program in industrial engineering typically focuses on the application of engineering principles to improve efficiency and productivity in manufacturing and other industrial settings. A PhD program, on the other hand, involves more research and advanced study of theoretical concepts in industrial engineering.

2. Can industrial engineers pursue a graduate degree in a different field?

Yes, industrial engineers can pursue graduate degrees in fields such as business, operations research, or data analytics. These degrees can complement an industrial engineering background and expand career opportunities.

3. Are there online graduate programs available for industrial engineering?

Yes, there are many online graduate programs in industrial engineering offered by reputable universities. These programs often offer flexible schedules and can be completed while working full-time. However, it is important to ensure that the program is accredited and meets your career goals.

4. What are the job prospects for industrial engineers with a graduate degree?

The job prospects for industrial engineers with a graduate degree are generally positive. Many industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation, rely on industrial engineers to improve processes and increase efficiency. Additionally, having a graduate degree can open doors to higher-level positions and higher salaries.

5. Is it necessary to have a background in engineering to pursue a graduate degree in industrial engineering?

While a background in engineering can be helpful, it is not always necessary to pursue a graduate degree in industrial engineering. Many programs welcome students with diverse backgrounds, including those with degrees in business, math, or science. However, some prerequisite courses may be required to ensure a strong foundation in engineering principles.
