The Decision Sciences Department brings together faculty with special expertise in decision support systems, enterprise information systems, enterprise integration, management science, business statistics, operations/technology management, operations research, and manufacturing strategy. This department coordinates the B.S.

The department is composed of the four disciplines: information systems, management science, operations management, and statistics.

- To transmit, through excellent teaching, basic and advanced education in the Department's four academic disciplines.
- To distinguish the University by making and disseminating significant research in the individual fields.
