The Department of Statistical Sciences and Operations Research offers programs leading to a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences with a concentration in either operations research or statistics, a Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences with a concentration in either operations research or statistics and a Doctor of Philosophy in Systems Modeling and Analysis. The curriculum of the programs is run jointly with the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics.

The department also offers a post-baccalaureate undergraduate Certificate in Statistics and a graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics.

Students who complete the requirements for either of these concentrations will receive a Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences.

• Mathematical Sciences, Master of Science (M.S.) with a concentration in operations research
• Mathematical Sciences, Master of Science (M.S.) with a concentration in statistics

Students who complete the requirements for any of these concentrations will receive a Doctor of Philosophy in Systems Modeling and Analysis.

• Systems Modeling and Analysis, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
• Systems Modeling and Analysis, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) with a concentration in applied mathematics
• Systems Modeling and Analysis, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) with a concentration in discrete mathematics
• Systems Modeling and Analysis, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)with a concentration in industrial statistics and operations research
• Systems Modeling and Analysis, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) with a concentration in statistics and data science

Students who complete the requirements for this program will receive a Certificate in Applied Statistics.

• Applied Statistics, Certificate in (Graduate certificate)
