Comments about Master of Science in Operations Research - At the institution - Atlanta - GA - Georgia

• Course description
  The Master of Science in Operations Research program is available to students with an industrial engineering background and to other engineers who satisfy requirements covering the principal subject matter of the current BS IE curriculum. The other master's programs are available for students holding the BS in engineering, mathematics, or science. Requisites include work in probability, statistics, linear algebra, calculus, and optimization, as well as selected application area work. The student may satisfy these requirements after enrollment; however, such coursework may not apply toward fulfillment of the degree requirements. The undesignated MS program is typically for those students who wish to work in the area of human-integrated systems.
