The University of Oklahoma’s Price College of Business is making waves in the world of entrepreneurship with the launch of a new hybrid master’s program designed to help working professionals, entrepreneurs, and innovators learn how to create and scale a new business. The Master of Science degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation offers two distinct tracks: New Venture Development and Corporate Innovation, providing students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the ever-evolving business landscape.

The program, which consists of 30 credit hours of instruction, can be completed in as little as 12 months and offers flexibility for students to start in either the spring or fall semester.

Following the residency, students will continue their studies through a combination of weekly live online sessions and asynchronous activities. This blend of in-person and online learning provides students with the flexibility to balance their studies with their professional and personal commitments.
