Looking for schools with Operations Research programs to apply for

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I'm currently looking for grad school/programs with Operations Research to apply for the upcoming Fall 2010 semester. My undergrad major was Business Administration (concentrations in Decision Sciences/Operations Research and Corporate Finance).</p>

<p>The current schools that are on my lists are:</p>

<p>Lehigh University - Management Science
RPI - ISE
Cornell - OR
USC - OR
Penn State University - OR (Dual title program, you'd have to apply through another program and be admitted, then apply for the OR program)
University of Wisconsin
University of Cincinnati
Case Western Reserve University - ORSC (Operations Research/Supply Chain)</p>

<p>I know most of these schools are a reach for me, and I was wondering if anyone that are in the field of IEOR would be willing to give me some suggestions for safety schools. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I hope you took a lot of math, probability and statistics courses along with your BBA courses. Operations Research is a very Statistics heavy grad program.</p>

3

<p>North Carolina State, Florida Institute of Technology both have PHD operations research programs. I’d consider NCS somewhat safe, and florida tech a safety.</p>

4

<p>Georgia Tech and Columbia are among the Top 7 in OR. </p>

<p>The other 5 are Northwestern, MIT, Cornell, Stanford, Cal.</p>
