MS/OR - Concentration Areas
Students enrolled in the M.S. in OR program may construct concentration areas by choosing electives from among special groupings. The four concentrations currently available are: Optimization, Stochastic Modeling, Decision Analysis and Military Operations Research.
Optimization Students opting to concentrate in Optimization must complete three OR electives from OR 640, 641, 642, 643, 644, 682,
and 741. The remaining two courses (out of the full requirement of 10) will be chosen with the written concurrence of the advisor and should be tailored to the student's interest and must include at least one
stochastic methods course.
Stochastic Modeling Students concentrating in Stochastic
Modeling must complete one 600-level statistics course (numbered 634 or
above) and two
courses from OR 645, 647, 648, 674 and 677. The remaining two courses are
to be chosen with concurrence of the student's advisor and must include at least one deterministic methods course.
Decision Analysis Students concentrating in Decision Analysis must complete OR 671 and 681
and SYST/STAT 664. The remaining two electives must include one
deterministic methods course and one stochastic methods course.
Military Operations Research Students concentrating in Military Operations Research must complete OR 651, OR 652 and SYST 683. The two remaining elective courses must include one stochastic methods course and one deterministic methods course.
Modifications to the requirements may be made with approval of the advisor.
