Frequently Asked Questions
Is the WSU online MBA program right for me?
The WSU MBA online program is designed for students who
are prepared to grow in their career. The program requires
a strong commitment of time and effort and often requires
cooperation from a student’s employer.
If you are ready to make an investment in your career and
your future, request more information about how the WSU
online MBA program can help you reach your goals.
Is company sponsorship available?
You will want to speak with your employer to determine if
they have an education support program. Some employers
require that you complete coursework or the degree
before reimbursing you. If your employer plans to fund
your education by paying Washington State University for
your tuition, please talk with an enrollment advisor.
Am I ever required to visit the WSU campus?
While you are always welcome to visit the campus, you are
not required to come to the campus to fulfill any of your
coursework. Many online students enjoy participating in
graduation ceremonies in Pullman.
How long will it take to complete my MBA online?
The WSU online MBA program can be completed
between 22-29 months. Your personal situation may vary,
depending on completion of all prerequisite requirements.
Is financial aid available to online students?
Many types of loans are available to students in MBA
programs. To apply for federal financial aid, MBA
candidates should complete and submit the Free
Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which is
available at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Private loans are available from a variety of sources. The
WSU Financial Aid Office and the College of Business
do not specifically endorse these loans or lenders and
encourage prospective students to carefully consider all
loan options.
For more information regarding financial aid as well as
exploring alternative financing options, please contact an
enrollment advisor.
Are WSU’s online graduate business degrees different than
the on-campus MBA programs?
The curriculum, faculty, and course content are the
same across programs. Graduates from our various MBA
programs all receive the same WSU degree. The only
difference is in how the courses are delivered - online
students participate in the program without the need to
visit campus. The delivery in the online program focuses
on building your business skills to prepare you for career
enhancement and growth.
