Program Overview

Join the Next Generation of Technology Leaders

Our Master of Science in Industrial Engineering & Operations Research (MS IEOR) program is a full-time, one-year master's degree program that will prepare you with the latest theory, computational tools, and methods for data-driven decision-making in a wide range of domains, such as artificial intelligence, high-tech, healthcare, energy, finance, consulting, data science, management, robotics, logistics, and human factors.

Please note, the IEOR MS is a terminal degree, meaning that students in the MS program are not expected to continue further into the IEOR PhD program. MS students who wish to pursue the Berkeley IEOR PhD must submit a full application and meet all admission requirements.
