Admission to the Operations Research and Game Theory doctoral program usually requires a master’s degree in engineering, natural sciences, or mathematics, as it is necessary to have taken at least 5 mathematics courses in the undergraduate and master’s programs, for a minimum of 240 contact hours in total. Among BCE graduates, students majoring in Business- and Finance Mathematical Analysis have the most chance of being admitted to the Operations Research and Game Theory doctoral program.
A strong mathematical background is required for admission. Students applying to the doctoral program must demonstrate proficiency in the following areas: linear algebra and real analysis. The other three mathematics subjects may include: probability, mathematical statistics, operations research, ordinary differential equations, functional analysis, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, and other similar mathematical subjects.
Graduate students must demonstrate a level of oral proficiency in the English language sufficient to participate successfully in the various activities that comprise a graduate education, including classwork, research, research presentations, group meetings, project teamwork, and teaching undergraduates.
