The Rady FlexMBA
Rady FlexMBA students are working professionals driven to make an impact in business and the world. They are passionate about innovation and about the ways business is being transformed by developments in technology and science. Whether working in large companies or small, in finance or marketing, research or engineering, they are explorers, seeking ideas and opportunities to sustain and grow their businesses.
You will see the Rady difference in our impact — and your impact. Rady FlexMBAs start immediately to bring new knowledge to their organizations, looking differently at business opportunities and decisions and at the people that can make things happen. FlexMBAs begin to make connections and build bridges right away — in the school, inside their organizations and in the business community. They get involved and stay involved — and our partners in the business community notice the value and passion they bring.
You will see our focus on innovation in our FlexMBA curriculum, in our engagement with the business community and their engagement with us, in the reputation of our faculty, in the intellectual capabilities and creativity of our students and in our integration with the UC San Diego campus.
Collaboration drives your learning — and drives boundary-spanning innovation. Your FlexMBA classmates are one of your most important educational assets, and our program is structured to provide the opportunity to develop deep relationships with your class cohort and then expand your network to other FlexMBA colleagues. Your working with classmates in teams across the curriculum is a vital part of your learning.
The Rady FlexMBA is offered in two formats designed to serve the educational needs of working professionals. Both enable working professionals to engage in a rigorous learning experience, with a depth of coursework typically found in full-time MBA programs.
The FlexWeekend MBA is an intensive 24-month experience, with classes held Friday and Saturday of alternating weekends. The weekend residential format, with classes on campus, enables you to engage fully with classmates and faculty.
The FlexEvening MBA provides access to the same rigorous education, but without the commitment of regular time away from your workplace. Classes meet two evenings a week on campus, and students will typically complete their degrees in 30 months. Periodic residentials create opportunities for more intensive study and team work.
