OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY

As 2020 winds down, many of us are revisiting goals from the past. If continuing your education toward a Master’s Degree has been on your “Bucket List,” is 2021 the year to take action? If there isn’t a professional degree specific to your position, you might consider a Master of Business Administration. An MBA is a highly recognized degree focused on organizational decision making, but doesn’t require an undergraduate degree in business. Oklahoma City University offers discounted tuition and fees for military and Tinker civil servants pursuing its Leadership MBA. To find out more about OCU’s MBA including live and online classes, application process, etc., contact OCU Tinker MBA Advisor Cindy Treadway @ (405) 208-5154 or ctreadway@okcu.edu.
