Assumption University Flexible MBA
An MBA Built on Relationships, Designed for Your Future
Assumption’s Flexible MBA is designed for working professionals who want the convenience of an online program with the benefits of mentorship, community, or personal support. Our fully online format makes graduate study accessible, while our small cohorts and relationship-centered approach ensure you never feel like just a number. Every course blends the scholar-practitioner model with the critical thinking tradition of the liberal arts, giving you assignments that are both immediately applicable to your work and deeply grounded in ethical leadership. From orientation through graduation, you’ll benefit from a program that is personal, supportive, and invested in your personal and professional goals.How Assumption’s Flexible MBA Stands Apart
At Assumption, you get the flexibility and convenience you need, paired with the relationships you deserve. Many business schools market a “Flex MBA” as a mix-and-match program where students can take classes in multiple formats at their own pace. While that structure can feel convenient, it can also leave you feeling anonymous and unsupported.
Program Highlights
- 100% online, purpose-built courses — not a mix of formats retrofitted for online
- Personal orientation and active faculty engagement — a guided, supportive experience that ensures you feel prepared, connected, and confident every step of the way
- Small cohorts and relationship-driven learning — real connections instead of a large, anonymous, self-paced model
- Flexible pacing with built-in structure — progress at a pace that works for busy professionals, with the accountability and guidance to keep you on track toward graduation
- Mission-driven, scholar-practitioner model — rooted in the Catholic liberal arts tradition with a focus on ethical leadership
- Accessible to students from any background — bringing together diverse perspectives that enrich discussion and drive innovation

“I came to Assumption ready to be a manager, and I am walking away ready to be a leader. In the process of earning my MBA, I learned about my ability to drive a vision, understand when there are fundamental gaps in an organization, and develop unique and creative solutions to close those gaps. As a result, I have become a better and well-rounded Project Manager.”
