<p>So I plan on enrolling at Rutgers, but I'm unsure which major to pick and whether or not to pick a minor. I'm a junior transfer so I have to decide now.</p>

<p>I was accepted for the School of Engineering for Industrial Engineering and the School of Arts and Sciences for Math. Now I have a lot of options:</p>

<p>Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineering w/ Math minor
Industrial Engineering w/ Operations Research Minor
Math w/ Operations Research Minor</p>

<p>Rutgers also has some 5-year Math BS + MS options which I would consider if I did math since I'll probably eventually want to get a MS anyway.</p>

<p>Math BS + Operations Research MS
Math BS + Industrial Engineering MS</p>

<p>I'm just wondering which would lead to the best career opportunities if one is actually even better than any of the others. I'm not sure what I want to concentrate in, but Operations Research or related careers seem interesting to me.</p>

<p>Is the 5th year tuition free?</p>

<p>If it is I would consider doing the math bs + or ms since your interested in or. </p>

<p>I might be biased towards math though since I’m a math major.</p>

<p>No it wouldn’t be. Well forget about the 5 year degrees right now. I’ve narrowed it down to either industrial Engineering or Math w/ Operations Research. I’m not 100% set on operations rsearch, but it does sound like something I would like. I want a degree that is versatile so that I’m not too limited. I would be interested in a career related to engineering, finance, and economics. Operations research just sounds like it combines them so I think it would be good.</p>
