Admission to the Program
At the Pennsylvania State University,
Operations Research is an inter-college program and students are not
directly admitted to the Operations Research Program. Interested students
should apply for admission to one of the
participating graduate programs. The appropriate department
will review the candidate's application for admission into that graduate
program. After arrival at Penn State, the admitted student will then apply
for a dual-title degree using the appropriate form provided in the appendix.
This "Request for Dual-Title Degree in Operations Research" form must be
filled out in consultation with the Graduate Coordinator in his/her graduate
major and submitted to the Chair of the Operations Research Program.
Students are encouraged to submit their application forms as early as
possible, and not later than at least two semesters before their intended
date of graduation.
Application Forms
The application form for each program is available
as a PDF fill-in form.
Fill-in forms allow information to be entered on the form before it is printed out.
CAUTION: Please note that Adobe Acrobat Reader does not allow you to save your completed forms. You must completely fill in and print the forms in one operation. The ability to save completed forms is available with the full version of Adobe Acrobat product suite.
