<p>Thank you, Sam Lee. I think you’re right about Northwestern being the best choice.</p>
<p>The Operations Research concentration I was speaking of at CMU is in the math department: [Deptartment</a> of Mathematical Sciences: Degree Programs](<a href=“http://www.math.cmu.edu/undergraduate/operationsresearch.html]Deptartment”>http://www.math.cmu.edu/undergraduate/operationsresearch.html) .</p>
<p>Industrial Engineering seems to be a broader version of Operations Research that deals with many of the same types of problems. Is a BS in IE enough for a job or is a master’s/doctoral required?</p>
<p>Would it make sense to continue a year or so at NU for a master’s in IE?</p>
