Education in Operations Research at the Ohio State University

The Educational Program in Operations Research at Ohio State is centered in the Department of Industrial Engineering, within which the academic aspects of the program are organized, and in the Operations Research Group of the Engineering Experiment Station, which engages in contract research and serves as a laboratory for the academic program. The Operations Research Group was established in 1954 to provide opportunities for actual experience in operations research as an essential aspect of training in this area, and to provide conditions under which a program of basic research could be developed.
