About the MBA Program
The University of Wyoming MBA Program provides a flexible curriculum program ensuring
that our students acquire the necessary tools to gain a competitive advantage in today's
business marketplace. While continually developing practical business knowledge, students
are able to apply concepts to real-world situations. Our small cohorts ensure that
students are not just a number. Modestly sized MBA classes allow students to truly
connect with their classmates as well as the faculty, fostering an atmosphere that
emphasizes team building.
Getting your MBA is a matter of investing your energy and resources (specifically
your time and money). When looking for an MBA program, ample consideration should
be given to who can provide the highest return on that investment. Our program is
affordable, yet highly practical in nature which provides students with the tools
to be immediate contributors to the organizations they join upon graduation.
The University of Wyoming MBA Program and College of Business are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. AACSB sets the highest standards of student, faculty and institutional excellence and visits each institution every 5 years for assessment for re-accreditation. Rest assured that an MBA from UW carries a validity of the highest level.
Each candidate who applies to the University of Wyoming Master of Business Administration
(MBA) program is evaluated individually by our faculty and program directors. We consider
each part of the application in a holistic assessment, including the candidate’s reasons
for pursuing an MBA, interview responses, prior academic performance, work experience
and letters of recommendation.

An online MBA also allows you to apply what you learn in real time at your current job, expand your professional network and often comes with lower overall costs due to reduced commuting or relocation expenses.

No, there are no in-person, proctored exams. All tests and coursework can be completed 100% online.
"I made the decision to continue my education through the Online MBA program because it's a great way for me to further my education at my own pace. While working on campus, I'm able to use the free class each full-time staff can take each semester to get my MBA. This program is perfect for me because it allows me to continue to work full-time, get my degree and still have a life outside of work and school."
