In 2009 Sage restructured its graduate programs around three key areas of strength and expertise to create the School of Education, School of Health Sciences, and School of Management.

The schools capitalize on Sage's leading professional degree and certificate programs at the post-baccalaureate, master's, post-master's, and doctorate levels. The schools will also draw from the bachelor's programs at Sage's two undergraduate colleges: Russell Sage College for women in Troy, and the coeducational Sage College of Albany.
