运筹学是应用数学的一个分支，涉及应用分析方法来帮助制定更好的管理决策。运筹学也被称为管理科学和工业工程。运营研究人员建立数学模型，并应用优化，仿真和其他数学工具来分析复杂情况。运筹学被广泛用于从电信到医疗保健到金融服务的行业。斯托尼布鲁克应用数学和统计系设有运筹学的研究生培训和研究计划，提供MS和博士学位。学位，以及运营研究18学分的高级证书。除了应用数学系，运筹学计划还利用计算机科学，经济学和商学院的系。
The Advanced Graduate Certificate in Operations Research provides students with the fundamental applied mathematics tools for developing protocols for the efficient management of private companies, government agencies and non-profit organizations. In today's global marketplace, organizations need to be efficient to survive. The Operations Research program will provide formal training in methods of optimization, modeling and statistics used in operations research. The objective of this program is to help individuals assist organizations to make efficient use of their resources so as to maximize efficiency and minimize net cost. Graduates of this program may be able to advance in management and organizational planning positions within their current employment or obtain new employment. It is recommended that applicants to the program hold a bachelor's degree in mathematics, engineering or computer science. The program is offered in collaboration with the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and articulates with the M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics as well as the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies offered through SPD. If you intend to pursue the M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, please refer to the University's Graduate Bulletin for any additional admission requirements.
