New York colleges that awarded Industrial Engineering credentials
10 colleges in New York reported conferring Industrial Engineering credentials to the federal IPEDS collection in 2023-24, and every one of them also awarded in the year before. 10 awarded a degree. That is a record of credentials already awarded, not confirmation that a program is currently admitting.
Colleges and what they awarded
Largest first by credentials conferred in 2023-24. That order measures the size of the graduating class and nothing else: it is not a ranking, and the largest entry is often a certificate provider rather than the strongest degree program. The credential is labelled on every row for exactly that reason.
| College | Credentials awarded | Highest level |
|---|---|---|
| University at Buffalo | 180 | Degree |
| Binghamton University | 132 | Degree |
| Columbia University in the City of New York | 118 | Degree |
| New York University | 54 | Degree |
| Rochester Institute of Technology | 48 | Degree |
| Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute | 21 | Degree |
| SUNY Maritime College | 18 | Degree |
| Hofstra University | 7 | Degree |
| SUNY Buffalo State University | 4 | Degree |
| Long Island University | 1 | Degree |

New York colleges conferred 583 Industrial Engineering credentials in 2023-24, which is 7.0% of the 8,360 conferred across the 41 U.S. jurisdictions reporting any. Of the 10 colleges here, every one awarded a degree. These counts measure the size of graduating classes, not program quality, and not how many students are currently enrolled.
What level those credentials were

Most Industrial Engineering credentials awarded in New York were graduate degrees. That is 30 percentage points less weighted toward bachelor's degrees than the field nationally, where they are 56% of credentials. A certificate is a different credential from a degree, not a lesser one, and the level a program awards is set by the program rather than by the student.
We measured how much this varies nationwide, and for most fields the credential level is set by the field rather than the state: is your major a certificate or a degree?
How concentrated it is. The single college with the largest reported graduating class in this field accounted for 31% of New York’s Industrial Engineering credentials. Activity is spread across several institutions rather than sitting with one.
What these New York colleges cost
Median net price across the 10 of these 10 colleges that report it, by family income. Net price is what students receiving federal aid actually paid for the WHOLE college after grants and scholarships, so it is not the price of a Industrial Engineering program specifically, and not a quote for any family.

What this evidence does and does not prove
This lists colleges that reported conferring credentials in this field to the federal IPEDS completions collection, in both 2022-23 and 2023-24. It does not confirm that any of them is currently admitting students to the program, and a college can appear here after deciding to close it. Confirm with the institution before it affects where you apply.
How this list was built
From the U.S. Department of Education IPEDS completions collection, matched to each college on its exact federal program classification. A college appears only if it conferred credentials in both 2022-23 and 2023-24, which is what separates a running program from one that has already closed.
This page exists because its list of colleges is materially different from that of every closely related field in New York — the fields a reader could otherwise mistake it for, such as two engineering disciplines, or nursing and practical nursing. Where a related field resolves to the same colleges, the second page would be the first one with its title changed, and CampusPin does not publish it. Sharing colleges with an unrelated field is different, and not a reason to withhold the page: in most states the same colleges award business, psychology and biology alike, which says something about the colleges rather than about the fields. We measured exactly how often that happens, and published the result: does choosing a major narrow your college list?
What Industrial Engineering graduates go on to do
Occupations the federal CIP–SOC crosswalk associates with Industrial Engineering, ordered by projected annual openings. National figures: openings and pay do not vary by where you studied, and the crosswalk describes related fields rather than a required or guaranteed path.
| Occupation | Median pay | Openings / yr | Most entrants hold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Engineers | $101,140 | 25,200 | Bachelor's degree |
| Industrial Production Managers | $121,440 | 17,100 | Bachelor's degree |
| Architectural and Engineering Managers | $167,740 | 14,500 | Bachelor's degree |
| Engineering Teachers, Postsecondary | $106,120 | 4,100 | Doctoral or professional degree |
Crosswalk: U.S. Department of Education (NCES), CIP 2020 to SOC 2018. Pay and projections: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2024 wages, Employment Projections). “Most entrants hold” is what BLS observes about people already in the occupation, not a legal requirement, an admission rule, or a guarantee of entry. Projected openings are a projection, not jobs promised.
