“I was very appreciative that OSU-Tulsa’s evening class schedule allowed me to work full time in the field as an environmental consultant while obtaining my master’s degree. My time in the PSM program was instrumental in gaining connections that have helped me several times throughout my career. Since graduating, I have found this degree to give me a leg up in this competitive job market and would recommend the program to anyone who asks.”
