The MS/OR Curriculum
To obtain the Master of Science degree in Operations Research, completion of an approved plan of study with a minimum of 30 semester hours (10 courses) of graduate level coursework is required. The program contains four core courses which provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the basic techniques and applications of operations research. Students must also complete an applied team project under the course OR 699. The remaining five courses are chosen by the student and faculty advisor to reflect the student's interests, and must include at least one of 600 level or above course in each of deterministic and stochastic OR.
Core Courses:
- OR 541 Operations Research: Deterministic Model
(Students who have taken a similar course such as OR 441 within two years prior to commencement of their M.S. studies are encouraged to substitute a deterministic elective.) - OR 542 Operations Research: Stochastic Model
(Students who have taken a similar course such as OR 442 within two years prior to commencement of their M.S. studies are encouraged to substitute a stochastic elective.) - OR 568 Applied Predictive Analytics
- OR 635 Discrete Event Simulation
Masters Project
- OR 699 Masters Project
(This course should be taken in the last Spring semester of the student's studies.)
Elective Courses:
The five elective courses must include at least three 600-level or higher OR courses, including at least one deterministic methods course and
one stochastic methods course. Up to two additional elective courses may be chosen with the written concurrence of the student's advisor. These courses should be taken in an area appropriate to the student's interests, such as operations research, systems engineering, statistics, computer science, electrical and computer engineering, economics, and mathematics. At least one of these electives must be taken from SEOR's course offerings. Students interested in developing expertise via a concentration should choose the electives from the appropriate concentration area courses.
