Part-Time MBA at Oklahoma State University

Public university ยท Stillwater, Oklahoma

  • AACSB accredited
  • MBA
  • Online MBA
  • Part-Time MBA

Oklahoma State University is a public university with graduate business programs in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Those programs run through the Spears School of Business. The institution is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

The business school holds AACSB accreditation - one of 5 of the 6 schools in MBA Lab's Oklahoma 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 4,914 students, alongside 21,773 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, an online MBA format for remote or working students, and a part-time or evening MBA format for students who keep working. That puts it among the 3 of 6 schools in MBA Lab's Oklahoma 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 Stillwater in this directory - the other 2 part-time MBA options in Oklahoma are elsewhere in the state, so weigh travel time against fit before ruling them out.

What to ask Oklahoma State University

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, Oklahoma State University 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.
  • Pace flexibility. Ask how long students typically take, whether you can drop to one class during a heavy work quarter without penalty, and how late evening sections actually run against your commute from work.
  • Where the degree is administered. Programs run through the Spears School 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.
  • Ask for the school's own outcome numbers. The federal figures on this page cover business master's graduates who took federal aid, pooled across several years. The school's employment report will be narrower and more current - ask for it by program and by graduating class, not a blended average.

Reported outcomes

Median earnings, 1 year out $85,393 Median of 114 graduates working one year after completion -2% vs. the $87,219 median across MBA Lab's directory
Median earnings, 4 years out $111,874 Median of 116 graduates working four years after completion +31% against the 1-year figure - two separate cohorts measured at different times, not one group's career path

Among the 3 schools in MBA Lab's Oklahoma part-time MBA programs directory that report a figure, Oklahoma State University ranks 2nd by one-year earnings. Schools that report nothing are left out of that count rather than counted as zero.

What these numbers are. Figures cover graduates of master's-level programs in Business Administration, Management and Operations (CIP 52.02) who received federal financial aid. At some institutions that group includes business master's degrees other than the MBA, and it never includes graduates who took no federal aid - so these are a directional signal about a school's business master's programs, not an MBA salary report.

"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.
