In the Product Studio, students develop a new tech product or service based on a challenge from tech companies like Uber or Robin Hood. The idea is that students will graduate with real, marketable experience and a portfolio of completed projects that will help them land jobs. Before starting, students choose one of two concentrations, either data science or operations analytics, and then use those to guide their course selections.
They choose eight core classes from a list of 11, including the Bear Grylls-esque Data Science in the Wild or Modeling Under Uncertainty, and six to eight project and interdisciplinary courses from a list of seven.
Law for Non-Lawyers sounds interesting. The academic year includes four quarters that last 6. The idea is to speed up the learning process and cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time.
That also means all OR coursework can be completed pretty quickly in a program that lasts two years for full-time students.
Tepper also offers part-time and hybrid programs half online, half on campus for professionals looking to earn degrees while working. The coursework allows for a lot of electives, immersion workshops, and networking opportunities. It culminates with a capstone project, which comes in three forms: Study Abroad a four-week trip to Germany, Hong Kong, or Mainland China that concludes with a summary presentation , Management Game a computer simulation of a multinational company , and Strategic Management of the Enterprise consulting for real companies.
Candidates who seem promising will be invited for an on-campus interview. Maybe the school lets its coursework do the talking, and it has a lot to say. Everyone else: Allow for extra time commuting time to campus.
Located in Dallas, SMU sees a lot of opportunities for operations research: management consulting, transportation, telecommunications, aerospace, defense, manufacturing, logistics, and the service industries — all of them need the sort of analytics know-how that a good OR education provides.
Everything is big in Texas, yada yada, etc. SMU offers numerous options for concentrations, which require advisor approval before studies begin: optimization, systems engineering, engineering management, information engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, telecommunications, or even some other engineering discipline. Not sure what that would entail?
The OR page has sample course schedules for optimization, systems engineering, engineering management, and information engineering, each with five courses. Life on campus at SMU is also pretty nice, as it spreads across a couple of hundred acres in north-central Dallas, a good mix of urban space with greenery. Just plan for interminable, brutally hot summers, but you can beat the heat by checking out the George W.
Initially, it only offered graduate programs. That continues, too: In U. The graduate program in engineering took No. Offered via the Whiting School of Engineering, the Master of Science in Engineering Management treats operations research as a degree focus.
There are also two elective requirements. Going the online route naturally requires approval from an advisor. Johns Hopkins also requires the GRE, letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and unofficial transcripts from any other universities where students studied.
All coursework must be completed within five consecutive academic years. The Tepper School's doctoral program in operations research OR is designed to encourage students to make contributions toward basic scientific knowledge in the area.
This knowledge can take several forms including:. A major goal of the program is to train students to recognize operations research problems in real-world situations, and to give them the opportunity to learn about the deployment of operations research models in one or more of these substantive areas.
Towards this goal, the program provides the opportunity to develop knowledge of functional areas of business to which optimization can be applied such as Marketing, Operations and Finance. There is a rich tradition of graduates from the program going on to successful careers in these areas both in academia in business schools, engineering schools in IE and OR departments as well as in Math and Computer Science departments and industry. The basic operations research courses offered include: linear, nonlinear, integer and dynamic programming; graph theory and network optimization; convex optimization and convex analysis; and stochastic models.
Each course is taught by a faculty member who is actively pursuing research in the subject area. Skip to main content. General Degree Track In addition to the writing competency requirements, our rigorous curriculum includes challenging coursework, action learning, and innovative research.
Option 2: Undertake a project with an ORC faculty member, either as part of a supervised research activity or as an extra part of a regular course offering. Students must satisfactorily complete these three courses with a minimum of 2 As and 1 B or a combined GPA of 4. Students are required to register and take for credit the software tools course The Department of Statistics and Operations Research specializes in inference, decision-making, and data analysis involving complex models and systems exhibiting both deterministic and random behavior.
We focus on developing and analyzing the necessary quantitative and computational tools to enable practitioners to solve problems in statistical and probabilistic analysis, modeling, optimization, and the evaluation of system performance. Mariana Olvera-Cravioto hopes the new data science minor will make data more accessible to students Our graduate MS and Ph. Why does researcher Alexander Murph, a fourth-year Ph. Mariana Olvera-Cravioto, associate professor in uncstor uses mathematical models to understand complex topics.
