Why Choose a Flex MBA?

Kickstart or change your career with the MBA that fits your life

Build the knowledge and skills you need for a great business career – all on your own schedule with our new flex program. We know that sometimes fully online programs can feel impersonal, and sometimes you really want face-to-face learning.

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.

In-Person, Evenings Learn in a traditional classroom setting
Livestream, AnywhereGo online and interact with your professor and classmates from wherever you are, in real time
Online, Any TimeWatch video of your class and do the work as your schedule allows

Program Highlights

You receive the full Saint Rose MBA experience:

Highly skilled, caring faculty with strong business experience and connections
Curriculum based on theory and practice. Our graduates tell us that they see immediate results in the workplace from their MBA coursework
Coursework accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs
Electives in crucial business areas like IT, business analytics, financial planning, or marketing.

Choose how you’re going to attend. Show up on campus one week, tune in remotely the next week, watch class video at 2 a.m. the following week? No problem. An important work meeting runs late, you have to wait for the plumber, your car broke down?
