Core Requirements
To qualify for the Master of Science degree, all GOR students must develop a
foundation in fundamental Operations Research methodologies, mathematics,
probability and statistics. This knowledge base is gained through satisfaction of the
following required core courses:
| Mathematics (MATH 501, MATH 502) (8 hrs) |
| Probability and Statistics (STAT 527, STAT 537, STAT 696) (12 hrs) |
| Stochastic Modeling and Analysis I (OPER 540) (4 hrs) |
| Discrete-Event Simulation (OPER 561) (4 hrs) |
| Linear Programming (OPER 610) (4 hrs) |
Students who have successfully completed comparable graduate courses may
request a transfer of credit or waiver for
specific courses through their Academic and Research Advisor. Under appropriate circumstances, the ENS Department Head
may approve course substitutions.
