Doctor of Philosophy in Information, Risk and Operations Management - Operations Management

The Texas McCombs doctoral program in IROM focuses on training future researchers in decision science, information systems, operations management, and statistics.
The Ph.D. program in Information, Risk, and Operations Management includes four different areas, all focused on business applications: Decision Sciences, Information Systems, Operations Management, and Statistics. Students have significant flexibility to design their pathway and may take courses and select their doctoral committee members from a broad interdisciplinary spectrum. Core courses, common to all students in each area, are supplemented with elective courses tailored to accommodate the course of study of individual statements and dissertation writing courses. Students are encouraged to interact with faculty and students from all areas regularly. Most graduate courses are small seminar courses, usually between five-to-ten students.
Students in the Operations Management area learn how to develop and apply analytical and empirical models and methods to address strategic and operational issues in areas such as supply chains, manufacturing, services, healthcare, sustainability, not-for-profit operations, pricing, revenue management, project management, and product design. Students are trained in various methodologies to research these areas, including optimization, economics, stochastic models, statistics, econometrics, and simulation.
