Overview

The Management Science and Engineering undergraduate program prepares students to create solutions to pressing societal problems by integrating and pushing the frontiers of operations research, economics, and organization science. The program builds on foundational courses in calculus and linear algebra. The undergraduate minor allows students to explore some of the undergraduate programs in MS&E to complement their undergraduate major.
