Complementing my Management Sciences/Operations Research

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on an undergraduate student pursuing Management Sciences/Operations Research (MS/OR) who seeks to select a complementary minor. The student considers three domains: Finance, Economics, and Computer Science. Feedback indicates that while all three can align with MS/OR, Computer Science is viewed as the weakest tie. Alternative suggestions include focusing on advanced statistical analysis and Dynamical Systems to enhance the student's algorithmic knowledge in conjunction with MS/OR principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Management Sciences and Operations Research principles
  • Familiarity with advanced statistical analysis techniques
  • Knowledge of algorithm design and application in Computer Science
  • Basic concepts of Finance and Economics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced statistical analysis techniques relevant to Operations Research
  • Research Dynamical Systems and their applications in problem-solving
  • Investigate algorithm design methodologies in Computer Science
  • Examine the intersection of Finance and Operations Research for practical applications
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in Management Sciences, Operations Research, or related fields seeking to enhance their academic profile through complementary minors, as well as those interested in the practical applications of algorithms in various domains.

Hey there, I am an undergraduate student doing Management Sciences. I love my subjects, the courses and projects. However I personally feel I should choose a minor to complement my major. As Management Sciences/OR deals "problem solving" at the core and does not "specialize" into a specific domain such as Computer Science/Finance...I want to know what can be possible domains to complement my major and how would my MS/OR learning would help/impact my choice of domain... I have so far selected three domains but I am unsure as how exactly will they be useful and what's hold in the future for these fields with respect to O.R

1. Finance

2. Economics

3. Computer Science

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

All three would work well with your program. Your weakest tie in is #3. Computer Science. You might consider manufacturing methods or Statistics (statistical process controls) (if they are offered) as better options (My opinion only, I hate finance, and Economics seems bland, so of course I would offer this advice.) :biggrin:

Thankyou so much. Well unfortunately there is no manufacturing methods course being offered at our university however there are courses of advanced statistical analysis and Dynamical Systems. I personally want to blend my OR knowledge and its algorithms with the rigorous approach of CS in designing and applying Algorithms.

Anyone else if they could please share their opinion? Thankyou
