With the Saint Rose Flex MBA, you choose how you receive your classroom instruction, and you can change it up from week to week.

We also know, from having offered graduate business programs for decades, that juggling real life and an MBA program can be challenging. So we’ve created the optimal learning experience, with ultimate flexibility: Take classes any time, any way you want.
