What the Numbers Say About This Market
The Logan median of $94,040 is below the national median of $102,440, and below the Utah statewide median of $103,940 (BLS OEWS, May 2025).
The metro’s location quotient of 1.37 means industrial engineers are more concentrated here than in the average U.S. labor market (BLS OEWS, May 2025). Higher concentration generally means more employers competing for the same people, and an easier job change later.
Industrial engineering demand tracks the region’s manufacturing base, distribution and logistics networks, and large healthcare or service operations that run process improvement teams.
Licensing is a state matter, not a city one. Industrial engineering sits on the same Professional Engineer path the state boards administer, through an ABET-accredited degree, the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering exam, qualifying experience and the PE exam in industrial and systems engineering. In practice the license is required less often here than in civil or environmental work, because most industrial engineers are employed inside manufacturing and logistics operations under what is commonly called the industrial exemption. The credentials employers ask for more often are Lean and Six Sigma certifications, which are issued by private bodies rather than by any state.
See the Utah licensing and pay overview for the statewide picture, and confirm current requirements with your state engineering licensing board.

Schools in our database near this area, ranked by BOC Score. The list favors schools with a related program on record, but program availability and delivery format change, so confirm directly with any school that it currently offers the program you want.
How We Rank Schools
We first gather the schools closest to the city or state page you are viewing, then rank that
local group by BOC Score, with the highest at the top. The BOC Score is computed from federal
IPEDS and College Scorecard data; schools without enough data to score appear last.
