Hybrid MBA
Boston In-Person. Online Anywhere.
Isenberg’s Hybrid MBA offers the best of both worlds – a combination of flexible in-person classes where you can engage with faculty and colleagues, and online coursework that accommodates your busy schedule. In-person courses are offered each semester at our satellite location in Boston, Massachusetts.
Flexible and Accessible
Our program is highly adaptable to your needs and schedule, and allows you to earn your degree in as little as 2 years without putting your life on hold. Our hybrid class schedule is designed to allow you to take the majority of your classes with in-person meetings, with the remaining classes offered online. And if your schedule changes, you can elect to take more fully online classes.
Every semester select courses are offered as hybrid, requiring students and faculty to meet for five in-person class sessions. The remainder of the coursework is completed online, allowing you maintain a flexible work/life balance.
GMAT/GRE waivers are available for those who qualify.

The flexibility of in-person or online classes allowed me to balance raising my family, my career, and my course work. It was easy to stay organized and move through the requirements, and each class could be immediately applied in my work.

I took some part-time courses in Shrewsbury. The classes ranged from 6:30 to 9:30. Most nights we ended up there much later because we were so engrossed in our discussions.
