Online MBA at University of Missouri
Public university ยท Columbia, Missouri
- AACSB accredited
- MBA
- Online MBA
University of Missouri is a public university with graduate business programs in Columbia, Missouri. Those programs run through the Trulaske College of Business. The institution is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
The business school holds AACSB accreditation - one of 6 of the 7 schools in MBA Lab's Missouri directory that do. It is the longest-established of the three business-school accreditors recognized in the United States, and it covers the school as a whole rather than any one program - a floor, not a ranking. More on accreditation.
Federal reporting puts graduate enrollment at 7,094 students, alongside 23,929 undergraduates. Total enrollment is not MBA cohort size - ask the admissions office how many students are in the specific program you're considering, which is usually a far smaller number and the one that shapes your experience.
Based on MBA Lab's directory data, the school offers a graduate MBA path and an online MBA format for remote or working students. That puts it among the 3 of 7 schools in MBA Lab's Missouri directory listing an online MBA. Format availability changes; confirm the current lineup with the school before planning around it.
It is the only school in Columbia in this directory - the other 2 online MBA options in Missouri are elsewhere in the state, so weigh travel time against fit before ruling them out.
What to ask University of Missouri
These questions are picked from what MBA Lab's data already says about this school, so they're the ones most likely to surface a real difference between it and the next school on your list.
- Residency and tuition tier. As a public institution, University of Missouri may price in-state and out-of-state students differently, and some programs charge a flat rate regardless. Ask which tier you'd fall into and whether it changes after a year of residency.
- What "online" means here. Ask whether classes are live at set times or self-paced, whether any on-campus residencies are required, and whether online students get the same career services, clubs, and recruiting access as on-campus students. These answers vary widely between schools that use the same word.
- Where the degree is administered. Programs run through the Trulaske College of Business may have their own admissions timeline, aid pool, and career office, separate from the university's central graduate school. Confirm which office owns your application.

"Not reported" means College Scorecard publishes no figure for that school - usually too few federally-aided graduates to release without identifying them. It is not a low number, and these schools are excluded from every average on this page rather than counted as zero. A dash under AACSB means the school isn't on AACSB's accredited list; it may hold ACBSP or IACBE accreditation instead, which this directory doesn't track.
