Abstract: A multiple objective hierarchical mathematical model is presented which assists administrators at Monmouth University's School of Business with departmental course scheduling for undergraduate courses. The mathematical model is used in conjunction with a discrete event simulation model that projects student enrollment for courses. The results of the model suggest faculty schedules that address important priorities at the School of Business, including minimizing expected student course conflicts, constraining the use of adjunct faculty, and adhering to ex ante declared recommendations in the assignment of faculty to course sections.
