NSU earns top 3 ranking in Oklahoma for affordable online MBA

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – Northeastern State University has been ranked by BSchools.org as the No. 3 most affordable online Master of Business Administration program in Oklahoma. NSU also placed No. 17 nationally among the 50 institutions reviewed by BSchools.org.

The ranking evaluated overall tuition costs and the flexibility each program offers to working professionals. NSU’s online MBA was noted for its affordability and adaptable format, allowing students to balance coursework with career and personal responsibilities. The program can be completed in as little as two years, helping graduates gain advanced skills applicable to today’s business environment.

“Affordability and flexibility are among the strongest features of our MBA program,” said Dr. Courtney Hamby, assistant professor and director of graduate business programs. “As a regional university, we provide a high level of individualized attention that helps students feel connected and supported. We prioritize clear rotation schedules, predictable course offerings and responsive faculty so students can plan ahead and progress in a way that fits their lives.”

NSU’s MBA requires 30 credit hours and costs just under $12,000 in tuition and fees, making it one of the most cost-efficient MBA options in the region. Students complete eight core business courses and may choose from options in General Management; Managerial Accounting and Finance; Native American Enterprise; Business Analytics; Environmental, Health and Safety Management; Healthcare Administration; Health Informatics; Project Management; or Digital Marketing.

According to university leaders, the ranking reflects NSU’s focus on accessible graduate education that supports career growth across Oklahoma.

“At NSU, we are committed to offering graduate programs that are affordable, practical and designed for working professionals,” NSU President Rodney Hanley said. “Our MBA program helps students build leadership and decision-making skills while preparing them to contribute to their organizations and communities.”

While recognized for its affordability as an online program, students may also choose to attend classes at the NSU–Broken Arrow campus. NSU’s MBA program is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.
