About Our Program

Designed for working professionals

A flexible MBA with options to study in-person, online, or both, and completed on the timeline that works best for you.

Virginia Tech’s Flex MBA program is designed for working professionals who want to pursue a degree at a pace and in a format that works for them. We offer in-person and virtual classes, and a focused program of study that allows busy professionals to earn their degree in just 24 months.

Flex MBA: choose your format

Each semester, decide per class: attend in-person evenings when you want the on-campus experience, or go online asynchronous when life gets busy. It’s the same degree—your schedule.

  • Part-time
  • Designed for working professionals
  • 30 credit hours
  • 10 courses

Each course, each semester

Select your course modality:

In-person evenings

Join classmates on campus for discussion-rich sessions and face-to-face engagement. Pick this when you want the in-room experience and real-time collaboration.

  • Evening schedule
  • Peer networking & discussion
  • Faculty-led sessions on campus

Online asynchronous

Learn on your time with flexible modules and deadlines designed for professionals. Choose this when travel, work, or life needs maximum flexibility.

  • Anytime access
  • Weekly cadence & milestones
  • Same faculty, same credits

You decide the format each semester, for each course.

Please note: While every effort will be made to maximize course availability, we cannot guarantee the availability of all courses every semester throughout the year.

Our program is accessible.

Students can learn virtually or in-person at our new, state-of-the-art building in Alexandria, Virginia. Students can choose a schedule that features virtual classes, only in-person classes, or a mix of both. The ability to alternate between course formats ensures that students will be able to attend class in the format that works for them as they move through the program.

Our program is flexible.

In addition to selecting their preferred course delivery format, students can also choose their degree completion timeline. This means that students can complete the degree at their own pace and enroll in the number of courses that best suits their schedule in any given semester.

Our program is streamlined.

Our 30-credit program of study includes a focused curriculum that offers professionals the skills and knowledge they need to succeed as leaders and managers in their field. Students who take two courses per semester can complete the degree in just 24 months. Learn more about our curriculum.

Our program is stackable.

Our forthcoming stackable non-degree badges and certificates align with Flex MBA coursework. Working professionals can start with one or two MBA courses to earn a badge, stack additional courses into a certificate, and — if later admitted to the Flex MBA — may apply eligible completed coursework toward the degree. Learn more about our forthcoming badges & certificates.

Our program is affordable.

Our tuition rate is residency-neutral tuition, meaning the cost of tuition is the same regardless of a student’s state of residence. We offer a tuition rate that is highly competitive for an in-person program in the DC region. Learn more about tuition, fees, and estimated cost of attendance here.

Our program is accredited.
