The Operations and Information Management (OPIM) doctoral program at the University of Connecticut equips students with the skills to perform innovative research across Management Information Systems (MIS) and Operations Management (OM). The curriculum integrates methodologies from Economics, Computer Science, Operations Management, Operations Research, and Statistics, focusing on applying scientific approaches to real-world business challenges.
Following coursework and qualifying exams, doctoral candidates pursue novel research examining new technologies, algorithms, and their economic and organizational impacts. Alumni have recently completed dissertations on subjects like distributed computing markets, e-commerce platforms, healthcare analytics, and analyzing blog influence metrics.
What distinguishes the OPIM department is its diverse research scope and strongly collaborative culture. Candidates may collaborate with faculty on established research themes or explore new areas aligned with their academic interests.
