Washington University invites applications for Ph.D. student positions.
The Decision Sciences specialization in the Ph.D. program intends to prepare
students for research careers. This area of specialization emphasizes the
process of constructing and analyzing mathematical and statistical models of
real-world managerial problems and the understanding of the role and uses of
such models in the management of complex organizations. Such problems are
analyzed using tools from mathematical programming, game theory, probability
and statistics. Research in Decision Sciences may focus on foundational
issues such as dealing with optimization, uncertainty, modeling complexity
and risk preferences as well as on novel applications in operations and
project management.
Admission to the program is competitive. All applicants are required to have
a bachelor's degree or the equivalent, representing a four-year course of
study in an accredited college or university. Superior academic performance
is expected, and a strong background and ability in mathematics are
essential for successful completion of the program. The program is expected
to be completed in four years.
Funding is available and awarded on a competitive basis. The awards
typically cover tuition and fees and provide a monthly stipend
