Academic Year:
DEGREE: BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
MAJOR: OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
The Operations Management (OM) Major focuses on the process by which a firm produces a product or provides a service. OM majors are concerned with addressing questions such as, how much of a product should be produced? What is the most efficient way to produce that amount of product or that level of service? OM is all about the transformation of raw materials, labor and capital into final products and/or services. The OM major prepares students to be effective problem solvers by increasing their ability to analyze and interpret quantitative information that they then can use to make solid business decisions.
