CORS Diploma is mandated by the Canadian Operations Research Society. As the Faculty Liaison for the CORS Diploma, I screen diploma requests and selectively recommend them to CORS organization if a student have taken the required courses as listed in the Supplement Calendar, which is copied here as well:
