• The OSU College of Business offers in-person executive training, online certificates and courses to extend your skills. You can complete a single course in five to seven weeks or earn a full certificate in six to nine months. All OSU alumni receive 15% off with discount code ALUM15. Explore the options.
• Oregon State MBA
  OSU MBA has a special scholarship for ALL OSU alumni (of any college). Alumni don’t have to apply for it, they just ‘get’ it when they are admitted to the MBA. We call it the Beaver for Life scholarship. Learn more.
