Master of Business Administration
The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is designed to train and develop globally relevant managers. The program emphasizes business strategies and techniques in the global environment. It is also designed with flexibility and convenience in mind, allowing the student to choose among different concentrations within the following three formats:
Traditional On-campus -The traditional on-campus program offers the full-time or part-time student the opportunity to take the required course work at Oklahoma City University's Meinders School of Business during the traditional four semester academic year (Fall, Spring, Summer I, and Summer II).
Accelerated -The accelerated program offers the working professional a series of nine-week cycles with a one-week break between each cycle in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Classes meet one evening per week from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. An M.B.A. degree may be completed within sixty weeks with concerted effort. However, the program may be completed at a pace selected by the student. This program meets the same academic standards as the on-campus program. Classes are taught by faculty members of the Meinders School of Business and practicing professionals who possess outstanding academic and business credentials to serve as adjunct faculty. These professionals help to ensure that the M.B.A. program maintains a contemporary, business-related focus by bringing a wide range of experience into classroom teaching situations.
International -The international executive M.B.A. program offers an accelerated approach to management education for working professionals in Singapore; the People's Republic of China; Vancouver, B.C.; and other locations throughout the world. Course requirements consist of preassignments, ten days of on-site instruction by faculty members of the Meinders School of Business, postassignments, and final examinations. Admissions requirements, curriculum, and academic standards meet the same criteria as those of the traditional on-campus and accelerated M.B.A. programs.
M.B.A. Degree Options
 The M.B.A. program is designed to meet the demanding needs of midcareer managers and recent college graduates who have baccalaureate degrees from accredited colleges or universities. All M.B.A. programs have a strong emphasis on different aspects of global business practices.
Applicants who already have an acceptable Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) have two options: For those who desire to gain an understanding of the essential managerial skills, the M.B.A. generalist program is available. This program consists of twelve courses or 36 semester hours of course work. For those who wish to focus on a particular vital area of current business and management practice, the M.B.A.-Plus-Specialization program is an attractive option. This innovative concept in graduate education allows the student to develop both a comprehensive background in basic management skills and, at the same time, select course work aimed toward a particular career path. In addition to M.B.A. generalist courses, this program consists of two to four advanced courses in selected areas of specialization such as finance, health administration, information technology, integrated marketing communications, international business, and marketing.
Applicants without a B.B.A. may be required to establish competency by earning grades of B- or better in the foundation block (BSAD courses) before advancing to the M.B.A. program. Students may be required to complete a maximum of 18 hours from the foundation block regardless of their undergraduate majors. Foundation block (BSAD) courses do not count toward required M.B.A. course work.
