School Research Report
By Zooey
以后想读 IE 偏物流和供应链的方向，因此都尽量找有这方面专业的学校信息，以下是我目前
的进度。
1. Purdue University
Purdue 有分 thesis 和 non-thesis 两种课程，并且还有分有 general 和 specialization 两种，在和 Purdue
老师询问详细情况后，thesis 主要是给未来要读博士的同学准备，如果以后以工作为主的话，那么
non-thesis 为好。General 和 specialization 主要是在课程涵盖上的不同，在了解了情况后我目前更感兴
趣 specialization 下面的 production system engineering
