stochastic models, as well as substantive
areas for application.
The M.S. degree program may be
constructed to include concentrations in:
• engineering and management systems
• industrial engineering
• production and operations management
• industrial regulation studies
Additional details regarding these concentrations
are available in the department
office. A thesis is not required.
Students who plan to continue their
studies beyond the master’s degree level
should give due consideration to the
course, examination, and grade-point
requirements of doctoral programs.
The M.S. degree program can be
taken on a part-time basis or completed
in one year of full-time study. Students
planning to complete this program in
one year are expected, on entry, to have
completed courses in ordinary differential
equations, in linear algebra, and in a
programming language such as C or Java.
Joint M.S. and M.B.A.
The joint M.S. and M.B.A. degree program
offered by The Fu Foundation
School of Engineering and Applied
Science and the Graduate School of
Business trains students interested in
combining business and engineering
careers. This option is available for students
in the financial engineering, industrial
engineering, and operations
research programs.
Admission for the combined program
requires filling out separate applications
from both schools, meeting the requirements
of both schools; admission
requirements are the same as those for
the regular M.S. programs and for the
M.B.A. Students in the program will
have advisers assigned from both schools.
For more information, please visit
the department or see the departmental
Web site at www.ieor.columbia.edu.
Doctoral Studies
The requirements for the Ph.D. in industrial
engineering and operations research
are identical. Both require the student
to pass two qualifying examinations—
respectively covering stochastic and
deterministic models—as well as submit
and defend a dissertation based on the
candidate’s original research, conducted
under the supervision of a faculty member.
The dissertation work may be theoretical
or computational or both. Doctoral students
are also required to select a concentration
for their studies and complete
a certain amount of course work in one
of the following fields: applied probability,
mathematical programming, financial
engineering, or supply chain management
and logistics. Doctoral candidates
must obtain a minimum of 60 points of
formal course credit beyond the bachelor’s
degree. A master’s degree from an
accredited institution may be accepted
as equivalent to 30 points. A minimum
of 30 points beyond the master’s degree
must be earned while in residence in the
doctoral program. Detailed information
regarding the requirements for the
doctoral degree may be obtained in
the department office or online at
www.ieor.columbia.edu.
