Graduate Programs in Operations Research & Management Science
Explore 300+ Operations Research & Management Science graduate programs at 100+ universities across 9 countries.
Overview
Management science and engineering is a grouping of programs that sit between engineering and business. They use optimization, decision analysis, economics, data and organizational theory to improve how companies and systems make decisions, often under names such as engineering management or technology management.
A master's suits engineers and technical graduates who want to add management and analytical skills. A PhD trains researchers in operations, decision science and technology strategy for faculty and industry research roles.
Graduates work as management consultants, product managers, operations and supply chain managers, business analysts and technology strategists, and many found start-ups. Technology companies and consulting firms particularly value the mix of engineering judgment and business analysis these programs build.
Most Operations Research & Management Science programs charge between $18,000 and $65,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $44,000 and $93,000.
