Operations Research

   
 

Program Overview

The Operations Research (OR) Program at the University of Delaware is designed to provide the student with a strong foundation in the theories and methods of economics, engineering, mathematics and statistics in order to analyze problems from a systems approach. Valid applications (case studies) bridge the gap between pure theory and methods. The rigorous core courses provide the student with methodological tools in recognizing, analyzing and solving problems. The program strives to educate well-rounded individuals who are able to compete in the market places of academia as well as public institutions and private enterprises.  Since 1996, the emphasis of the OR program has been towards the finance industry. Programs of study are tailored to student and faculty interests and emphasize research. Course work includes a core in operations research, optimization, statistics, and applied probability, in addition to supporting courses related to areas of application.
