About MS&E
With 31 professors and more than 500 students, the Management Science & Engineering (MS&E) department focuses on understanding problems involved in the engineering aspects of managing systems and technologies, creating appropriate problem formulations and solutions, and providing relevant decision support.
In addition to our world-renowned faculty, MS&E hosts a large student population in the Stanford School of Engineering: 133 BS, 266 MS, 100 Ph.D.
Our PhD students are conducting research of direct relevance to industry. Many of our master's and undergraduate students view an MS&E degree as a quantitatively oriented engineering and business education with technology underpinnings. This prepares them well for the data-driven challenges of the future in business, public service and academia. We stay close to real-world problems through vigorous interaction with other Stanford departments, Silicon Valley, state and federal governments, and various global organizations and corporations.
