Oklahoma State University invites applications for the Master's in Entrepreneurship (MSE) Program.  Both a full-time residency program and an on-line version of the MSE are now available.  The MSE provides a rigorous immersion into the nature of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process. Core content is coupled with a strong commitment to experiential learning. Students actually start a venture while in the Program. The Program is a component of the university-wide entrepreneurship emphasis at Oklahoma State University. It is targeted to students with a passion for entrepreneurship in for-profit, non-profit, and public sector contexts. It consists of 33 credit hours of coursework and can be completed in one calendar year.

The focus of the Program is students creating their own ventures and jobs.  Full-time students develop and operate their ventures in our MSE Venture Lab, an on-campus incubator.  As a result, graduates will be prepared to start, manage, grow and exit ventures that they create alone and with partners. The skill set associated with successful venture creation can clearly add value in a wide range of professional contexts both in the public and private sector. However, the prime emphasis is on new venture creation.

Students in the MSE Program will be afforded numerous learning opportunities outside of the classroom. They will be able to get involved in the Riata Business Plan Competition, the OSU Cowboy Entrepreneurship Bootcamps, the Veterans with Disabilities Entrepreneurship Program, Women Entrepreneurs Inspire Conference, the Entrepreneurship Empowerment in South Africa Program, the Riata Entrepreneurial Internship, the Technology Commercialization Project, the OSU Entrepreneurial Mentors Program, and other such initiatives. In addition, as students launch their ventures, they will have access to the OSU entrepreneurial network.
