We offer degree programs in engineering management and management science (operations research) and perform research in the related areas of production engineering, reliability, statistical analysis, experimental design, quality assurance including statistical process control (SPC) and Six-Sigma, computer simulation modeling, artificial intelligence and optimization.

Engineering management
If you have an engineering, math or science degree and are ready to transition to a leadership or management position, this degree is for you. Enhance your technical skills while developing your management skills. You will study organizational behavior, systems engineering, engineering economy, computer simulation modeling, decision making, and operations research, along with an elective program you can tailor to your interests.

Management science
If you are technically oriented, enjoy problem solving and have some quantitative skills, this degree may be for you. You do not need to be an engineer to study management science. A liberal elective program allows you to take courses in the School of Business Administration, the College of Arts and Sciences and even the School of Education and Allied Professions. You will study optimization, queuing analysis, forecasting, reliability, production engineering, and many other topics.
