Management

The bachelor of science in business administration program in management and its three optional specializations prepares students for leadership careers with business or nonprofit organizations. The discipline of management uses analytical process and the application of decision tools and relevant theory to creative problem solving. Students learn the rational process of managing organizations, solving problems and accomplishing goals.

OSU-Tulsa is downtown Tulsa's public comprehensive research university, offering junior- and senior-level classes with flexible schedules designed for working adults. OSU-Tulsa students are OSU students, which means your degree is an Oklahoma State University degree -- the same degree students in Stillwater receive. Students generally transfer to OSU-Tulsa with an associate's degree or at least 45 credit hours from another institution. The majority of our students take their first two years at Tulsa Community College or another local two- or four-year school, but students have transferred to OSU-Tulsa from colleges and universities across the country.
