Online MBA in Missouri: what to know

Missouri offers one of the widest selections of accredited online MBA programs in the country, 7 on our list, led by the University of Missouri system (Mizzou's Crosby MBA, UMSL and UMKC's Bloch), alongside Missouri University of Science & Technology, Missouri State, University of Central Missouri and Southeast Missouri State. All 7 hold AACSB accreditation, the gold standard earned by a minority of business schools worldwide.

On cost, the range is wide: the most affordable option on our list is Southeast Missouri State University (≈$13,035 in-state), with the University of Central Missouri (≈$17,100) and Missouri State (≈$18,360) also among the best values, while Mizzou's Crosby MBA tops the range at about $47,250. Tuition and fees change every year and in-state and out-of-state rates often differ, so confirm the current figure directly with the school before you budget.

Admissions are relatively accessible: every program here makes the GMAT optional or waivable, which removes a common barrier for working applicants. Available specializations include Accounting, Computer Information Systems, Cybersecurity, and Data Analytics. Because the format is fully online, it suits professionals who want to keep working while they study rather than relocate to campus.

International applicants are generally welcome, check each school's TOEFL or IELTS requirements early. Treat the numbers on this page as a starting point for comparison, and verify accreditation, deadlines, and specialization availability on the university's official admissions pages before you apply.
