As a student in Russell Sage College’s Flex MBA program, you will rarely be lectured at. Instead you will learn through case studies, engaging online discussions and a capstone project with businesses, nonprofits or government agencies.
You’ll also network with government and nonprofit leaders, health care, finance and technology executives, and start-up entrepreneurs and small-business owners at optional school-sponsored events like employer panels and weekend-long business-plan intensives.

The Flex format allows students to choose how they take their graduate classes each week – in person, via livestream, or online on their own time – when other programs require students to commit to one format.

Students seeking their School District Business Leader (SDBL) certification who still need a master’s degree along with the SDBL advanced certificate to qualify can choose our MBA to SDBL pathway.
Thanks to a Workforce Development Partnership with Russell Sage, members of the Association of School Business Officials of New York (ASBO New York) can receive a 10% tuition discount on the SDBL program and the MBA to SDBL program.
Upon signing an agreement approved by both parties, ASBO New York members who enroll can defer tuition until up to four weeks after the completion of each term. This flexibility allows students to plan and save for their educational investment, while also aligning the timing of employee tuition reimbursement benefits, eliminating the need to pay tuition upfront.
The Russell Sage Flex MBA is particularly tailored to professionals in the workplace. The MBA program is contemporary and practitioner-oriented and includes behavioral aspects of management. Thanks to our Flex format, even the busiest student can complete their degree in about two years.
