Stanford university MSE Overview
The Department of Management Science and Engineering leads at the interface of engineering, business, and public policy. From the beginnings as a merger of three existing departments—Operations Research, Industrial Engineering-Engineering Management, and Engineering-Economic Systems—we have become one of the most respected Management Science and Engineering departments in the world. The department’s mission is, through education and research, to advance the design, management, operation, and interaction of technological, economic, and social systems. The department’s engineering research strength is integrated with its educational program at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels: graduates of the program are trained as engineers and future leaders in technology, policy, and industry. Research and teaching activities are complemented by an outreach program that encourages the transfer of ideas to the environment of Silicon Valley and beyond.

Program and Curriculum
The M.S. in Engineering is available to students who wish to follow an interdisciplinary program of study that does not conform to a normal graduate program in a department.
Each student’s program is administered by the particular department in which it is lodged and must meet the standard of quality of that department. Transfer into this program is possible from any graduate program by application through the appropriate department; the department then recommends approval to the Office of Student Affairs in the School of Engineering. The application should be submitted before completing 18 units of the proposed program; it should include a statement describing the objectives of the program, the coherence of the proposed course work, and why this course of study cannot conform to existing graduate programs. Normally, it would include the approval of at least one faculty member willing to serve as adviser. (A co-advising team may be appropriate for interdisciplinary programs.) Each student’s program is administered by the particular department in which it is lodged and must meet the standard of quality of that department. The actual transfer is accomplished through the Graduate Authorization Petition process.
