Complete Your MBA Degree in Joplin

You can complete your Master of Business Administration degree solely in Joplin by following the schedule outlined below.

• The Missouri State University MBA Program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB-International).
• This program is designed for evening students wishing to attend one or two courses per semester.
• Students may begin their MBA program at the start of any semester.

The MBA program consists of 33-57 graduate level credit hours – depending on the student’s undergraduate major. Students with degrees in business will likely be able to forego most, if not all of the foundation classes, resulting in a 33-hour degree program. (See MBA program information). MBA foundation courses if required are now available through Missouri State Online.

Applicants not previously accepted into the MBA program may take up to nine hours in a temporary admission status. These applicants should contact the director of the MBA program prior to or during the first semester of enrollment and will not be allowed to enroll in classes past the nine hour limit without acceptance into the MBA program.
