Program Overview
OR/MS uses quantitative modeling to improve the planning and decision making in organizational systems composed of people, machines, and procedures. OR/MS models usually account for such real-world complexities as uncertainty, multiple objectives, constraints, and the relationships among the various parts or subsystems that constitute the system being studied. The OR/MS Concentration is intended for students who wish to pursue careers as quantitative analysts who conduct OR/MS studies and analyses, and hence construct and exercise mathematical models, collect and/or analyze data, utilize and implement algorithms, and develop methodology as necessary. |
