MIT's PhD program in operations research (OR) equips you with deep theoretical knowledge while training you to create and implement OR techniques in real-world scenarios.

Students can pursue a general degree path or select from three specialized tracks: operations management, networked systems, and analytics. While all doctoral candidates must meet the core requirements, those opting for a specialized track will need to complete additional discipline-specific coursework.
