“We take immense pride in our MBA program at Mississippi State. Our faculty are among the nation’s finest, and our graduate program team is committed to providing an exceptional experience for every student,” MSU College of Business Dean Scott Grawe said. “The online MBA challenges students to put their knowledge to work as consultants on live cases to prepare them for long-term success. We continue to lead the way with our experiential learning opportunities for all students — in Starkville and online.”
Mississippi State’s 30-hour online MBA program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the longest-standing and most prestigious accrediting body for business education.
