运筹学理学硕士

MS为学生准备与数学模型的制定和分析相关的研究和专业实践，以用于决策和计算机实施。主要组件包括优化，排队和网络建模，计算机仿真和建模，应用和计算概率，以及将这些组件应用于实际和相关的运营分析问题。预计学生将精通这些领域以及支持实施运筹学方法所需的信息技术支持领域。该计划包括学生在教职顾问的帮助下选择的核心课程和选修课。要获得MS学位，学生必须完成批准的学习计划，其中至少包含30个研究生学分。学生可以通过联邦研究生工程课程上课。经顾问批准，可以将适当的课程转移到此Mason学位课程中。
The MS prepares students for research and professional practice associated with the formulation and analysis of mathematical models for decision making and their computer implementation. Major components include optimization, queuing and network modeling, computer simulation and modeling, applied and computational probability, and application of these components to realistic and relevant operational analysis problems. Students are expected to become proficient in these areas, as well as in supporting areas of information technology necessary to implement operations research methods.The program includes core courses and electives selected by the student with the aid of a faculty advisor. To obtain the MS degree, students complete an approved plan of study that contains a minimum of 30 graduate credits. Students may take courses through the Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Program. Appropriate courses may be transferred, with advisor approval, into this Mason degree program.
