The Department of Decision Sciences at Georgia State University is housed
in the College of Business Administration.  We teach a lot of required
math and statistics for business majors at bachelors, masters and doctoral
levels (Georgia State has one of the biggest business Ph. D.  programs in
the country).  Courses for our majors mainly revolve around interactive
decision support systems and quantitative methods in business.  

The three most interesting courses (IMHO) are a course in individual and
group problem solving, and two courses in decision theory.  One of the
decision theory courses is mainly statistical with forays into the nature
of the good (which we call "utility theory" to avoid turf battles with the
Philosophy department).  The other is a doctoral seminar in which I try to
get people who are about to become Ph.D.s in decision sciences to question
whether or not they (or anybody) even know what a decision IS. 

My main area of research in fuzzy logic.  I've done some pseudo-applied
work in fuzzy expert systems and fuzzy decision analysis, but mostly I
work in the realm of abstract logic where mathematics meets philosophy. 
As a penance for my sins, I spent several years as the secretary-
treasurer of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society. 

<Flame bait mode on> The difference between a department of computer 
science and a department of decision science is that the the former 
programs people to help computers work better, and the latter programs 
computers to help people work better
