MSc in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research in Berkeley United States | University of California, Berkeley

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) provides three advanced degree options: a Master of Engineering (MEng), a Master of Science (MS), and a Doctoral (PhD) program. These curricula are designed for professionals with engineering or mathematical science backgrounds seeking to deepen their expertise in quantitative modeling for system design, analysis, risk assessment, and decision-making. These methodologies apply to intricate systems across industrial, service, and public domains, including energy networks, logistics operations, healthcare delivery, and financial markets. Learners can specialize in theoretical research for academic pursuits or practical implementation of cutting-edge methods to address real-world challenges.

The MS program is an intensive, full-time technical master's degree. Participants engage with both IEOR theoretical foundations and their practical implementations. As a terminal degree, the MS typically doesn't serve as a pathway to the IEOR PhD program. This program operates on a self-funded basis, with the IEOR Department not providing financial support or eligibility for department-funded academic student employment positions.
