Advanced Studies for Operations Research & Statistics Concentration

Advanced Studies for Operations Research & Statistics Concentration

This concentration is concerned with the methodology of Industrial Engineering modeling including optimization, stochastic modeling, and statistics. The depth courses include advanced courses in these areas. This area also prepares students for graduate school. Many companies employ students with good methodology training for operations research or statistical analysis.

*** You must meet with an advisor and/or the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies (Dr. Chen Zhou) to understand the more stringent requirements of this concentration ***
