Located in the beautiful Sherrerd Hall, the department of Operations Research & Financial Engineering (ORFE) is one of the six departments of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.  

ORFE was founded in 1999 following the footsteps of great Princeton scientists in statistics (Tukey, Wilks), in probability (Feller, Hunt), in optimization (Kuhn, Tucker), in convex analysis (Gomory, Rockafellar) and in game theory (Nash, Morgenstern, von Neumann).

Our research and teaching are centered around these topics, making our courses among the most popular ones in Princeton.  

Graduates of all our programs are highly sought out in academia, industry and government.  Currently, we house 25 faculty, 58 graduate students and have 235 undergraduate concentrators.
