previous requirements.

Major Specification
BMGT 808F Seminar in Operations Management
Plus five additional courses. There are two major concentrations: Management
Science (MS), and Operations Management (OM). The choice of courses is open; however,
the student needs approval from the PhD coordinator when choosing a course sequence.
For example, a student whose major concentration is in OM generally would be expected
to take more advanced courses in game theory, in addition to any PhD seminar in
OM offered. For more information about courses that can be taken,
