Program Description

Operations Research uses advanced analytical methods for complex decision-making. Applied math, computing, statistical analysis, and optimization are part of the Operations Research toolkit that can be used to solve complex problems that arise in many situations, such as engineering, scheduling, manufacturing, transportation, or healthcare. KSU’s Operations Research Minor is an excellent option for students who would like to learn and apply new quantitative methods for improved decision-making and efficiency.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to: 

1. Demonstrate proficiency with tools from optimization, probability, statistics and computing.
2. Correctly apply mathematical and computational modeling as well as analytic skills to produce and evaluate solutions to practical problems.
3. Interpret and present the results of large numerical problem solutions from a variety of fields.

This program is a part of the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology .
