Efficient and Flexible Management Master’s Degree

This master’s degree in business is just 30 credits (or 10 courses.) You’ll take courses in practical areas like critical thinking, organization design and development, human resources and management information systems, plus an elective and you’ll participate in a capstone project.

Classes are held on Russell Sage College’s campus in Albany, New York, and online and you can combine in-person and online courses for the most flexibility. Most graduate business classes are offered in the evenings or one day a month on a weekend or in a reduced seat time format.

Most students complete the master’s degree in Organization Management in two years by taking two classes during fall, spring and summer semesters.

Student-Centered, Whether Online or On-Campus

Your classes will be led by full-time professors with doctorates in management disciplines and adjuncts who are also directors of state agencies, business-owners and chief officers in financial, health care and technology fields — many who have taught at Sage for years.

The same faculty members teach the same Organization Management master’s degree curriculum online and on campus, so your own learning style and the demands on your time can be the deciding factors when it comes to choosing the combination of online and in-person classes that work for you.

And we keep our graduate business program small, to allow a level of individual attention that is rare in business school.
