18 Best Mba Programs In Oklahoma City, OK (2022 Updated)

This school is hardly what it pretends to be in its recruiting campaigns. The professors are usually great, and the student culture is very welcoming, but the administration of the school is far over reaching, and their public image is decietful at best. Nothing really sets this school apart from any other secular liberal arts college except their over-bearing restrictions and expectations. They claim to be affordable and award academic scholarships generously but don't factor that into your budget for the long haul: tuition rises, awards don't. Apart from those scholarships, the school is especially expensive and needlessly so. They require an expensive meal plan for their unbelievably wasteful cafeteria and they charge high price for minimal housing accommodation. You will find that once you enroll here you drop to the bottom priority of the administration. Everything here is about impressing visitors (well except for the attrocious landscaping across campus). On football game days, you will likely have difficulty finding parking spaces, despite the fact that you live here and ought to be able to park here. If on gameday you decide to park elsewhere on campus (if you manage to find a space) you will almost certainly receive a citation. Citations are enforced on the students who live here and pay to attend, but visitors are given a pass for just about every infraction they could dream of committing. For their most recent new residence center they have added only a gravel parking lot (behind the building so visitors hopefully won't see it) and I assume they don't intend to pave it considering it's been 3 years now. Who knows if this trend will continue. Internet has never been great here but it gets worse as the years go on. They have installed more restrictions over their network as the years go on. YouTube is hit or miss since half the intersting things you'll find might be blocked. (I'm not talking about just innapropriate content, but almost anything from an unverified channel that might be censored). Like most Christian colleges they have a chapel requirement, and they are very strict about it. You won't graduate unless you watch all 96 of the half-baked evangelistic sermons they force feed you and don't you dare try to be distracted by your phone or with homework. I don't want you to get the wrong idea here. You probably will struggle to find another university that's much better about most these issues. My point is, though, that OBU really is nothing exceptional as a school and especially not as a Christian school. It's very clear that they are far more concerned about the prevalence of Christian appearance than ministering to their students or their community. Just go to a state school and join a campus ministry if you really want a Christian experience in college. This place isn't worth it.Tony Carter

You won't find a university with a more caring staff, faculty, or student body. Within a week of being on campus, I found my place. OBU offers plenty of student organizations and sports and encourages campus involvement (Biggie, Spring Affair, basketball, football, TWIRP, and more). Yes, classes are rigorous, but I felt more prepared for a career than friends who attended state schools. After attending a state school myself, I can say I felt more like a person than an ID number at OBU. Your professors will know who are and even invite you for afternoon tea. Whether you are enjoying the hammocks in the spring, filling the fountain with bubbles, or attending Canterbury, it's easy to find your place at OBU.Cami Sayre

The theatre professors are great and a lot of the students are nice but other than that this school sucks. You are forced to take classes that have nothing to do with your major, forced to do chapel and worst of all the food is disgusting except on days they have students that are wanting to go there to school. Its a waste of money and time and too expensive. You are better off going to OU or another college. And you will not get your tuition money or work study jobs. And if you are a theatre student you are forced to build sets even if you want to act. And if you are a minority your chances of getting a part in a play is slim pickings. Save ur money and go to another school. #slavelaborFinese Leoni

Let’s 👏🏻 Stop 👏🏻 Texting 👏🏻 And 👏🏻 Calling 👏🏻 Me 👏🏻 Asking 👏🏻 If 👏🏻 I 👏🏻 Want 👏🏻 To 👏🏻 Receive 👏🏻 More 👏🏻 Texts 👏🏻 And 👏🏻 Calls. I have answered NO about 20 times at least. Your school provided years of mental trauma to me and I am just now trying to find peace with Jesus again after being shown how the “Church of Christ” handles students who are struggling with their ridiculous rules and trying to attend enough events every semester to make the staff feel good, or have any worldviews apart from their own. Good luck working out over the next decade with this new generation who loves to love!Morgan Christie

Do you want to be shown the OPPOSITE of Christ’s love, and be taught to live the OPPOSITE ways he has directed us to in the Bible? Look no further! This school enjoys collecting fines from students and scrutinizing young adults, even going as far as to kick them out with no chance of finishing their school year or earning their money back, because there was a male student hanging out with them in their apartment. 8 years ago, that’s exactly what they did to me! Be careful not to have any opposite gender friends; they’re a big no-no to God apparently.Morgan C

As an OC alumni I daily an thankful for my time at OC. I was challenged intellectually and I greatly enjoyed my time with my brothers in Kappa Sigma Tau. I plan on returning for graduate work because of the personal relationship I gained with many of my professors during my undergraduate studies. The student/teacher ratio is one of the best things about this school and if you're looking for a Christian education that challenges your faith and prepares you for the workplace, this is a great University to look at.Brent Stafford

I love the CSBA and will continue to go there whenever I can to get something done. I have had my nails, hair, make up and a facial there and I loved it. I go often to get a Meni Pedi and sometimes take my niece with me since they seem to be the only ones that can handle people with ticklish feet. I have got my hair done twice their now and love that I can get a cut and color for only $38 just a color at other salons cost a min of $65. Today 6-17-14 I went in and wanted a whole new look a color and cut. I knew what color I wanted but not the cut just that I wanted it short. The girl I had her name was Morgan and she is very sweet and understanding. She was shocked that I pretty much wanted all my hair chopped off since it was to my mid back. I explained that I was recently diagnosed with a medical issue that was causing my hair to fall out and that instead of shaving it all off I would try just cutting it short. She got the dye right the very first time and dyed my hair perfect with no mistakes at all. Was very professional while working on my hair. I wasn't sure how I wanted it cut so she provided me some magizens to look at and I showed her what I liked and her and the girl working at the station next to her described some styles that they thought would look good on me. They came up with one that I couldn't say no to. It was Awesome the instructor showed her how to best do it with my hair since I have thin hair and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I have never had my hair this short before and never thought that I would. I love my hair. I have never walked out of a Salon feeling so excited about my hair as I did today. THANK YOU MORGAN!!! I will defiantly be going back to CSBA!!Jessica Craig

I went there for a day of beauty that I won> I got a manicure,facial, shampoo and haircut and style and make up, declined the pedicure due to the fact I have a lot of pain in my feet and don't like them touched. the manicure was good given what she had to work with cause I have hardly any nails to begin with, loved the wax dip she did it made my hands feel like they were melting felt very nice. the girl was very nice and quiet but did engage in conversation some. the facial was done by a girl who had very good massaging techniques, she about put me to sleep. when it was over I was all like can't I just have you do this all day lol. my hairstylist did a good job as well with some assistance from a supervisor they both seemed to understand what I wanted and it was actually the first time EVER someone cut my hair right. the girl who did my makeup was good as well, she listened to what I said and thats what matters that and she had a very good personality and confidence. I have no complaints about my expeirence there and would go back againAva Simone

I just read a couple of the reviews. I have to say that several years back I went here for the manicure program. Yes, some of the things are a little out dated. But, it is cosmetology school. I will say one thing..While this was a few years back, I never once had an issue with any of the instructors. I went to school every day and actually finished 3 weeks early. Also, the way they teach you is exactly the way you have to do it at state board. It was second nature to me when I went to take my exam. I HAVE gone to another school since to complete the Esthetics program, because it was cheaper…there was a HUGE difference. I finished early as well there but the instruction was awful. They did not look out and watch for "bad habits" or even teach you how it will need to be done for the exam. There is much worse out there. My over all experience was just fine. It is all in what you are looking for.J H

The staff all around is terrible. Most of the professors act high and mighty. Constantly remind you that they’ve already gotten their degree while simultaneously refusing to give answers to the smallest questions. Also, departments such as housing and student conduct do not seem to care about their jobs. I constantly email, call, message; no matter what I do, they place me on hold and never get back to me. I’ve had the same concern for a month and tried THREE departments and nothing has come of it. I have pictures, emails, call logs and videos yet am not being taken serious. Parking is atrocious; why did I spend $200 just to not have anywhere to park ?! Such a small area is designated for student parking for as much as we spent on a pass. As someone stated before it’s extremely boring, and for us to be spending money for so many different things, we have access to so little. The school and staff is a joke but I’m sure when they see this review all of a sudden they’ll care about my concerns.Jaelyn williams

The professors at this school are amazing and the campus itself is very nice. However, parking is a nightmare and so is getting your GI Bill set up. The last school I was at made this process go by smoothly. Here, I did everything as instructed months in advance and still fear that I won't be able to enroll into classes next semester due to financial holds since my paperwork for this semester (that ends next month..) Has just been processed through the VA. I was told there's only one person processing all of the paperwork for every veteran student. This is unacceptable. If there's so many veterans at this school, employees should be proportionate to demand. After this semester, I might go to a different school or be forced to take it off and put my education on hold. I'm very disappointed.Raven Hickman

College charges kids $700 a semester to park a car in their parking lot even one day a week. There are people that can afford this many cannot. This is an unfair burden that is being placed on UCO families. Our child has to walk nearly a mile to find a place to park their car at school off campus after they drive 40 miles to get there. Now we are constantly worried about what's going to happen when they have to walk to their car late at night. Edmond as a city is not near as safe as it used to be. The UCO parking lot fee structure is exorbitant and unnecessary and this parking for profit will ultimately bring harm on those that cannot afford to pay UCOs sky high poor tax.SilverJ

LOTS OF KRAMER NURSING STUDENTS REGRET COMING HERE. Kramer Nursing School has VERY LOW QUALITY OF EDUCATION. There are lots of INCOMPETENT INSTRUCTORS who do not know the subjects well enough to teach the classes. When students ask questions, they either tell the students the material is in the book or they say they will get back to you with the answers which they never do. Lots of students have to drop and retake courses because of the poor teaching. There are so many students who are VERY UNHAPPY and TRAPPED in the program because transferring to another nursing school means starting nursing school all over. There was a MASS CHEATING SCANDAL in the summer 2013 in Adult Health II course in that half of the class were put on academic probation. When half of the class were caught with academic dishonesty, there were systematic problems with the program. Students resorted to cheating on exams maybe because of the poor teaching. Kramer nursing program should be anyone's last option. If you are on the waiting list for other nursing school, just wait.Kualuwan Kurlawalee

I am extremely unimpressed with this college. While I had a great experience with my private violin instructor, I found the culture at OCU quite distasteful. I can’t speak for every department at the school, but the staff (and deans) at the School of Music are not very helpful and can sometimes be extremely disrespectful. OCU desperately needs to work on improving the experience for students and making them feel more welcome. OCU also gives very lousy financial aid compared to other colleges in the state. Frankly, the quality of the education and the service for students is not worth a tenth of the price. Would not recommend.Micaela “Mack Truck” Shaenys

I attended OCU for 2 major reasons. 1. OCU has an outstanding science curriculum and medical school acceptance rate. 2. OCU is known around the globe for excellence in performing arts. I loved OCU because I was able to continue double bass studies with the amazing Dr. Schimek and to earn a great scientific education at a liberal arts university. I Highly Recommend OCU!austin powers

My Son and I have been up do OCCC many times over 2 months speaking to each department, taking tests, providing income verification, signing form after form. Provided them with 16-17 FASFA approval and 18-19 FASFA approval and have told them from day 1 that the EMT course is what he will be taking, we also provided Fasfa application with OCCC as the school and the Emt being the class. He was approved for 5900. and the cost is something around 2500. I took 2 days off of work using my vacation hours to get this completed. We enrolled him into the course and got his ID and he has a required pre class mid May he must go to for more details on uniforms or material needed for course. I am him mother they have just as much info about me as him due to him living at home still but have emailed my son yesterday a month after enrolling and testing and such and advised him they spoke to director and Fasfa doesn't cover this course!! So I called the Financial Aid office and they refused to speak to me with out my sons authorization are you kidding me but they want me to be responsable and provide income verification for my SON to get inrolled but refuse to speak to me about his FASFA?? So I asked them if it was FASFA or them that decided 2 months later that the course he was taking from day 1 wasn't elegable for FASFA and the lady told me that it was up to FASFA!! So I called Fasfa to confirm this info that OCCC financial aid had advised me and spoke to a young lady that informed me this is grant money and the final decision is up to the school not to FASFA… so I was lied to waisted my vacation hours and time enrolling my son for them to decide after we were in that office 2days speaking to each department and NO ONE COULD TELL US THAT THEN??? This is BS I am a single mom of 3 we got qualified for FASFA for a reason due to low income but Occc want to run us through the ringerMelody Curtis

After several consultations as a transfer student with 60 credits geared towards nursing bachelors and some general education courses I was assured by my unofficial transcripts that I only need 2 more classes for the RN program. The day of classes I was advised that I would need another 2 classes. Completing 8 weeks I was then informed I would need another 2 classes. That’s 6 more classes when advised I only needed 2. My financial aid will not cover all of these additional courses along with the previous accumulated transferred courses. I was SCAMMED. This university SCAMMED me into more courses. I would advise anyone to make sure everything said to be in writing and record all phone conversations so you could report them to the government as a victim like myself. The chemistry course was misleading and my ebooks were delayed past assignment dates and no extra credit given or opportunity to do the assignment once the learning material is actually available. Everyone’s experience is different and mine is unfortunate. At the rate of added courses I think a bachelors is the best move and would have never ever wasted my hard earned money and time away from family for this. I had 3 advisors and each one had something different to say about what is needed. Now the courses I’ve taken is wasted and useless. I shouldn’t have to pay for them.Jay Cop

There processing people could use a brush up. Campus is a little confusing. Records has some really kind people working behind those counter tops. Hats off to that department as well as admissions for all their hard efforts. Gotta commend the disabilities department for their mission to its disabled population there at OCCC for aiding those with challenges to each individual’s needs.Jason Golden

Stillwater Strong I am so proud to be a part of a community that celebrates its' triumphs and sticks together in tragedy. I've seen Stillwater grow not only in population, business and industry but expand services into neighboring cities as well. Stillwater is a city that has displayed its' resilience after the Cowboys basketball plane crash in 2001 to the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade crash 2015. Stillwater has and continues to leave such great memories of what a hometown should be for me.Beth Wooldridge (BethWoolSoldIt)

It's a great University. Been here for two years and it never ceases to surprise me. A wonderful world away from the rest. Best place for students to hone their skills and learn new ones. For me it's personal you should be here in person to feel the energy of this little university town. You wouldn't believe how happening this place is. Welcome to Oklahoma State University. #gopokes.Sai Vamsi Krishna Vissa

I love the campus and my program, but the city is a prison if you don’t have a car. No bus or train for other cities, only university’s bus to tulsa which doesn’t work in holidays or weekends. Not All students can afford buying a car!Sahel Zaboli

The University of Oklahoma was the best 4 years I could have asked for! I enjoyed so much at this great University! The architecture for one is a beautiful sight! You feel like you are in a different world when you live on campus and its filled with exciting things to do and fun people to meet! We cant forget about the athletics. OU leads the nation with some of the most entertaining teams in almost every sport. Its truly a place where champions go. Also the education is incredible. I attended the Price College of Business and have seen many wonderful habits that they instilled translate to the betterment of my career. I am forever thankful to this University Boomer!Seth Van Horn

An absolutely beautiful campus. Great place to go for a quiet stroll with the family. Lots of lovely spots to sit and talk. We also like to take the grandkids here with their bikes. Students, faculty, and staff are always friendly. It's crowded during the day between classes, of course! Game days are great fun!Jeffrey Harwell

OU's improvements to campus since I attended 20 years ago are truly impressive. The programs are well thought out and designed to put you in position to succeed. I wish I had time to go back and be a student all over again to take advantage of all this!Glenn Lautzenhiser

If I could rate zero stars I would!! But the academic advisors are nice and informative….. but it's the WORST place ever for online education! The business office is HORRIBLE and extremely rude!! Do not be fooled by their Christian University "title" they are nothing but a money hungry institution looking to nickel-n-dime and take advantage of Christians who are trying to further their education and better their life! Make sure you read all their policies, fine print and read the part on any financial or student aid and administrative fees (twice) do not be fooled by their mask of deception! Once you get accepted into their school and you sign all their agreements they will begin to charge your account until you have nothing left! They will give you a run around when you need financial aid and they will barely leave money to pay for books, definitely not enough for living expenses because they sucked it all dry. This school is a perfect example of money exchanging inside of the church and profiting off of God! (JOHN 2:14-15) Pray hard before you choose to go to MACU! it's a money racket!Grant Schuck

I started attending this university in the Summer of 2012, and everything went really well. I enjoyed the students and instructors except for one. That class was a nightmare. When you have ninety-nine instructors, and one tells you, you will have a disciplinary action take place if you mess up again, that is messed up. The financial aid department was a joke. After three years of being at the university, it was time to move on. Last year was something else. I was randomly selected to provide a tax transcript, and after three attempts to have the IRS mail the statement, no luck! Now, I am going to attend ORU to obtain my bachelor's degree. Their financial aid is more timely, and less of a headache. Be cautious of the financial aid department. Great school, but not the best customer service.Tyler Walker

The online MBA program is a disaster. I've had 4 classes not put online on the date the class starts and then got penalized for late work. If you have all A's and a D they wait till the end of the program and tell you that you can't graduate unless you retake the class. You are told numerous things, and the success coach turns around and says he miscommunicated information to you. I have SEVERAL emails regarding all these problems. Other students in my online class are constantly emailing with the same complaints. It has turned into a nightmare! You would think we were the first graduating class it is all so unorganized.. Save yourself the headache and enroll online somewhere else. I wish someone had told me before hand.missy lynn

I was here for 1 year from 2016 to 2017. I also worked here as a work study student too. I enjoyed this campus and brings me back memories when I think about it. The classes are easy and it's mostly 2 year associate degree that they offer. Even though it says it's a university it's really not it's a 2 year community College. It used to be a technical school back then and they just changed the name to university. They do have bachelor's degree classes for Registered Nurse R/N and stuffs like that. Their main campus in Stillwater is an actual university. If you are nervous and don't think you can't make it, try this school or any other community colleges for 2 years and see if you wanna go to a university later on. The only class that was hard for me was the English composition 1 class. I think my teacher was Sarah Mcelyea. She is a tough grader. Other than that I like this school and would recommend people to come here.Shone Joseph

*Had a problem with financial aid, a student at the window made the problem worse. *had switched degrees so Venetia was no longer my counselor but in my frustration, that's who I called *was ready to pull out of school and go to a community college closer to my house During my call with Venetia, she addressed all my issues then followed up making sure any promises made during the enrollment process were fulfilled. Venetia made me feel like I was in a place where the staff care about each student's success and are willing to help. President is great carrying person who also was happy to greet me and extend his support in any problems that may arise. I love my new school and the staff car about my success.Chris Clack

At first I was nervous about paying for classes due to my financial aid not being processed but I reached out to my teachers and fellow classmates and someone was able to rely this info over to someone higher up. I got a phone call that they'll be able to help w/ getting books for me some I got one and also my financial aid was processed the week after so I was able to go get my books for class and pay for schooling. I'm really glad someone took time out of their schedule to help me. They didn't have to stay after hours to help me but they did and I'm very thankful that I'm attending a school that really cares. Blessing for the upcoming yrs here!!!!Raquel White (Raqi)

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I graduated thank the lord. I would not recommend this place to anyone going into nursing. It was literally the worst years of my life. I have never in my life been so depressed. Also the staff basically told me I wouldn’t make it as a nurse and they were the least empathetic people. I tried to ask for help multiple times and I was left for dry. Also if you’re working and doing school, that’s not okay with them. They tried to tell me to quit my job, as if that was an option. WHAT A JOKE. I tried to get out of doing their 27-30 something chapel credits because I was full time nursing student and full time working because bills. They told me no and told me I didn’t meet the qualifications. I also lived off campus. I knew several people that were able to get out of the credits but not me. Of course. I told them I was going to drop below the standard hours and THEN they told me I could get out of chapel as my “senior gift”. I feel like this school was more beneficial to people that are going into ministry then maybe it’s for you. If it’s anything else, I would reconsider.Kris Dodez

It's Awesome place that is were we had our Global Quiz. And the Teen's love it there. It was like a Family Setting they made you feel at home. There is just so much See an Learn. They have a Wonderful Staff and Crew. I am glad my Son Choose to go and become part of there Family. Love SNUSandra Zieschang

Love the campus, and thank you for the invitation to come to SNU and show off my pizza skills. Proud to work for Sodexo and just wanted to thank them for the Hotel stay and hospitality at Southern Nazarene UniversityKevin Autaubo

The University of Oklahoma HSC has an excellent research facility. The university has a lot of scientists conducting research in different diseases and development. The scientists are publishing high impact peer review articles every year. The university has a medical center where the doctors are treating patients. Here the doctors are well-trained and very knowledgeable. The OU residency program is famous for doctors.Riaj Mahamud

The receptionist is RUDE!! I called 2 x and both times this woman laughs and hangs up.. I finally get her on the line, doesn't mention the company nor her name ..how unprofessional. I'll never ever! Reach out to these people again. First impression is with the receptionist and I can only imagine how horrible the other employees are.Victoria Faith

The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center is a first-class facility. It is World round for the Excellence of his program, and for the quality of its work. If you are thinking about becoming a doctor, if you are sick and need to see a doctor, if there is a research program you wish to be a part of, this is your place.Rick Phillips

The latest building designed in the OSU campus with an underground section to organize classrooms. Modern amenities with luxurious settings. Always lively in there.Udit Mahajan

Highly recommend the Meinders School of Business. They are a top tier program that creates excellent opportunities for it's students and alumni.Craig Ode

The business school here at UCO is a surprisingly great part of the University. A lot of the times smaller universities like this are thought to have us your education because it cost less. But on the contrary a lot of our professors are actually professors at bigger universities. A lot lot of the programs here at the business school all right up there with the best universities in the nation and a lot of the times beat those universities. They also just remodeled the restrooms.Tom N

The building was nicely upgraded. The staff and faculty were very gracious and showed me the results of the renovations that were done to the building during the recent years.A Griffith

Very, very dishonest university. Please do your research before attending here. You will be grateful you did. Please don't become a victim like so many others. They will take your money and deny you due process.Chris Barnett

This is the worst academic program I have ever attended. They do not keep abreast of medical research; It’s difficult for smart individuals to compete in this program. My biggest horror story from my experience at the OU College of Nursing is this: A patient on a psyche unit at VA hospital told me that he was not ready to be discharged from care. I stood toe-to-toe with the residents and told them he did not meet the criteria for discharge. The doctor signing the forms, histrionically waved his pen in the air, and then he dramatically brought its point to the forms, where he checked each box to discharge this man. Less than a week later, this man was back at Veterans Administration Hospital–in a body-bag in the morgue with a self-inflicted gun-shot wound to his head. Nursery school kids have more acumen than OU School of Nursing personnel. Just saying….Deborah Thorwart

All of the OU medical training facilities are world renowned for their excellence and for the dedication of their staff and the quality of students they turn out. If you are thinking about going into nursing, this would be an excellent place for you to go. You will gain all the knowledge and training you need to be a success in your career.Rick Phillips
