工业和系统工程学系提供了研究生学习的机会，从而获得了工业和系统工程学的理学硕士和哲学博士学位。在博士学位 该计划提供四个专业领域，每个领域旨在培养能够领导工业和系统工程领域新兴领域的毕业生。这四个领域是：决策科学/运筹学，卫生系统，人为因素和人体工程学以及制造和生产系统。
The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers opportunities for graduate study leading to the master of science and the doctor of philosophy degrees in industrial and systems engineering.<br><br>In the PhD program, four areas of specialization are available, each designed to produce graduates capable of leading new and developing areas within industrial and systems engineering. The four areas are: decision science/operations research, health systems, human factors and ergonomics, and manufacturing and production systems.<br><br>The specialization in operations research, optimization, and analytics trains students in analytical methodologies useful for solving decision problems, especially problems that involve the allocation of scarce resources, and the design, planning and operation of complex systems. Graduate study focuses on optimization modeling and algorithms, applied probability and stochastic modeling, and decision analysis.<br><br>The health systems engineering specialization seeks to train students to look at broad issues in health care, including long-term care, prevention, quality improvement, health care financing, and system evaluation. Understanding how people solve problems is a basic requirement for health systems engineers, who must apply scientific methods in a value-laden setting.
