I attended Southeastern Oklahoma State University from August 2024 to August 2025. Their graduate program offers intense 7 weeks courses, allowing you to obtain a master's degree in as little as 12 months. This is what I chose to do and successfully completed my degree in 12 months. I enjoyed the way the classes were set up. The professors gave you your assignments on Mondays and the work was due the following Sunday by midnight. As a professional who works full time, this gave me the freedom to...

This flexibility and being able to complete my degree in one year are the reasons I chose this school.

Southeastern Oklahoma State University was an amazing place to go to school. I was a double major throughout my time here and learned so much from my professors. Instructors were extremely kind and understanding throughout my entire experience. I am now in graduate school at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. My graduate program focuses on clinical mental health counseling and is also fantastic. I definitely believe that this school should be considered for anyone that is wanting to further...

I took my MBA courses fully online - all of them used Blackboard to deliver the course contents. I felt that the courses themselves were well structured and academically challenging. I did not find that the professors interacted much with the students; for most of the classes, there were hired "coaches" - some with doctorate degrees and some without - who handled any manual grading of submitted work, as well as any questions asked by the students. The quality of the academic program is not why I... Read More have an issue with the school...I felt they were great. I did, however, have tons of issues with the administration, starting with the fact that I wasn't given any sort of degree plan to follow by my adviser, causing me to miss enrolling in a class only offered in the Spring semester, which delayed my graduation date. In addition, I completed one course with > 90% of the points listed in both Blackboard and in the course syllabus, but when I looked at my transcript, I was given a C. I notified my professor and the head of the department...it's 2 months later and they still have not corrected my grade. Anytime I email for a status update, I get an email from the professor saying "I"m looking at it right now" but nothing ever changes. Maybe I was expecting too much from the administration, or too little of myself, but my I remember my undergrad adviser being VERY involved with making sure I gathered the credits I needed to graduate, so I'm a little irritated that I don't even get canned emails as interaction. That being said, the tuition is one of the cheaper ones out there for an MBA, so if you can manage to get enrolled in the correct classes and given the correct grades, it's worth the money.



UPDATE (8/9/2018): As of today, the issue with my grade has been resolved, with apologies from the department chair.

The pros of my graduate program are that it is delivered in an online format that fits my busy professional lifestyle. I also have a direct line of communication with the department chair and my professors to maximize my success. In addition to that, I really appreciate the affordability of the University. The cons are simple. Because I am an Online Student, it is really difficult to do everything at long distance. I would love to actually have the ability to step on campus, but unfortunately that's...

I am working with a professor who values a quality education and hands on work to gain a better understanding of the subject. I am required to always put forth 110%, but with guided help when needed this is not hard to accomplish. My time is not wasted on classes that I have already taken. The program is technically a degree in technology in biology, so I am required to take an IT class or two which is not my ideal type of class. I am happy overall with how my program is set up and the professor... Read More I get to work with.
