Core Ph.D. Degrees
Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering
Providing rigorous coverage of core IE and OR methodology, with application to challenges within critical systems such as supply chains, healthcare, manufacturing, information technology, and energy. The degree is offered in four different specializations: Supply Chain Engineering, Statistics, Economic Decision Analysis, and Systems Informatics and Control.
Ph.D. in Operations Research
Our degree in Operations Research is one of the largest programs in the country, approximately half of the ISyE faculty are directly responsible for the OR program through teaching and research activities that span virtually every topic and sub-discipline related to the field's basic methodologies of optimization, stochastics/applied probability and simulation.
