Anyone out there do or know a lot about ORFE?

<p>How does ORFE at Pton compare to say the Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at Columbia. I'm trying to figure out what the differences are, but they both seem to be pretty much the same thing, with Pton however you don't apply into it, at Columbia you apply to the engineering school</p>

I do not know ... but I'd suggest checking their web-pages ... not for their marketing materials ... but for their course descriptions ... this should give you an idea of the focus and technical depth of the programs (the old fashion way would be to ask them to mail you a course catalog along with the requirements for the major).</p>
