Graduates of our program have been highly successful both in academic and industrial positions. The fundamental course work in mathematical programming, stochastic models and applied statistics are offered along with seminars on the latest developments in the field. A strong background in mathematics is good preparation for the program. The Operations Management Ph.D. program pays special attention to research in operations planning and scheduling, quality management, operations strategy and supply chain management. The QAOM Department prides itself on the individual attention we give our students.
Graduate education is considered our highest priority.
We have maintained the highest standards of methodological rigor in our programs for over 25 years. A recent study presented at the National Decision Sciences Meeting ranked the UC QAOM faculty in the top ten in the country in research productivity and quality in operations management. We are also excellent teachers. We take advantage of our urban environment and the opportunity it affords for solving real problems. The Greater Cincinnati area is a wonderful laboratory in which to learn.
