A Field with Promise and Flexibility
Dear students, parents, and partners,
Welcome to the Department of Systems Engineering and Operations Research.
In SEOR, we study, analyze, and develop methods and tools for decision-making to solve complex real-world problems and for the design and enhancement of contemporary and future systems.
We apply our knowledge to a wide array of fields, including health care, cybersecurity, the environment, transportation, and finance.
SEOR faculty are world-renowned leaders in education and in research. We aim to advance the frontiers of knowledge and strive to provide our students with a foundation that will serve them for a career of life-long learning. Our focus is not only on technical knowledge but also on broad systemwide thinking, and the ability to be a leader in your field.
We engage in problems that have an impact on society and improve the world around us. Because we're a few miles from Washington, D.C., in the heart of a thriving region that is rich in opportunities, we are uniquely positioned to achieve that.
