The Life-Juggler


Some weeks are smooth, others are a scramble. Part-time Flex MBA students can use a limited number of Flex Passes each semester to attend that week’s online section of their in-person course when life gets in the way. Whether it’s a sick child, a late meeting, or a family obligation, the program offers just enough flexibility to keep you on track without falling behind.

The Community Seeker


You want more than a degree—you want a network. With small class sizes, a collaborative culture, and events designed for working professionals, the Part-Time Flex MBA offers a tight-knit community that fits your schedule. Whether online or on campus, you’ll never feel like you’re going it alone.


The Commuter


You prefer in-person learning, but the drive into Boston isn’t always practical. With the Part-Time Flex MBA, you can choose in-person or online core courses each semester—and use a limited number of Flex Passes to switch formats when needed. Whether it’s bad weather, a long day, or a late meeting, Flex Passes let you join online for the week and keep your routine—and your progress—on track anywhere in New England.
