Spears School of Business

Applicants are encouraged to employ strategic planning when seeking admission into the Oklahoma State University MBA program. Such effort should include the careful consideration of application deadlines, adequate time for program test preparation, attainment of calculated support by professionals prepared to advocate on your behalf, and an ability to articulate reasons why you believe the OSU MBA program will benefit personal career objectives and/or professional skills. 

 

Each applicant should be of good personal character, sound judgment and professionalism during interaction with the Watson Graduate School of Management staff, Spears School of Business faculty and staff, and MBA Advisory Board members as it will be factored into ones overall fit for the program.
