Credit-hour waivers are available to qualified students depending on undergraduate background. Students admitted to the Full-Time MBA are eligible for financial assistance in the form of scholarships and assistantships.

Full-time MBA:

A maximum of 52 graduate credit hours are required to complete the full-time program; the program contains 40 hours of core courses and 12 hours of electives. A total of 48 graduate credit hours are required to complete the part-time program. The part-time program shares 33 credit hours of the full-time program and requires 15 hours of electives. Full-time students generally complete the program in two years; part-time students take an average of three to five years.

Part-time MBA:

The Part-Time MBA is a 48 credit-hour program designed for individuals who wish to enroll on a part-time basis only. The program is self-paced, allowing students to take a limited number of credit hours each semester. Applicants must have earned a four-year undergraduate degree or equivalent from an accredited university and have a competitive GMAT and GPA.

Professional MBA:

The Professional MBA is a 36 credit-hour program designed for students attending classes primarily at OSU-Tulsa or via Distance Learning, but is also available at the OSU-Stillwater campus. Applicants must have an undergraduate degree in business, engineering, or a related field from an accredited university and a minimum of three years substantive work experience; applicants with significant work experience beyond three years but lacking a business-related undergraduate degree may be given consideration. A Graduate Studies Committee will review applications prior to granting admission, and the Committee works closely with students on their curriculum options during matriculation. Applications must include three letters of recommendation, including one from an immediate supervisor, and applicants must submit a written statement of purpose that includes the reason they believe they are qualified for this program.

Dental MBA:

The Dental MBA is a 36-credit-hour program offering flexibility and practicality. Designed to meet the business needs of the medical community, the program is a simple way for dentists to acquire the business savvy they need to enhance their profits via efficient management of their practices and finances.

The program is also applicable for dentists interested in private business associated with dentistry science. A feasible program for practicing dentists, this distance learning MBA ensures professionals already in the field can continue working full time and obtain the business education their medical degrees probably didn’t provide.

Distance Learning Option:

Earning your MBA via Distance Learning is an ideal option for motivated, full-time working professionals who have travel obligations, face relocation, or otherwise don't have time for a traditional classroom MBA. Classes are available on CD-Rom, through video streaming on the Internet or by interactive television. The program uses technology to ensure student interaction with faculty, classmates and guest speakers. Applicants interested in Distance Learning should note that degree specializations are not available through this format, and Distance Learning is not a specialization.

The Accelerated MBA-MSTM Dual Masters:

The Accelerated MBA-MSTM Dual Masters is more than a technical MBA. This dual degree allows full-time students earn both the MBA and the Master of Science in Telecommunications Management (MSTM) degrees in two and a half years. Students will fully complete the core courses of both programs and share nine elective hours to meet the degree requirements. Working together, the William S. Spears School of Business, the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, and the College of Arts and Sciences have built one of the nation's most unique interdisciplinary telecommunications management programs. MSTM graduates develop broad knowledge in areas of business, technology and communications with options to specialize in areas that best fit their career aspirations. You'll receive hands-on experience in its state-of-the-industry telecommunications lab. For more information about the MSTM Program visit the MSTM website.
