Our Operations Management Department prepares students to pursue careers in consulting, finance, healthcare, retail, transportation, human resources, computer science, marketing, technology, government, and the nonprofit world.

The department comprises two disciplines:

• Operations Management—a multi-dimensional, highly integrative business area that uses both quantitative analytical skills and cognitive problem solving to examine how organizations execute their missions and goals

Our faculty are dedicated teachers and researchers who leverage innovative approaches in addition to the traditional blend of case studies, lectures, and texts. Through executive presentations and course projects at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, prominent members of the business community often integrate into the classroom experience.
