Finding community in an online program

The Flexible MBA program provides opportunities for students to feel like part of the community and participate in in-person experiences.

Pursuing an MBA is an exciting step toward career advancement. And for many professionals, balancing work, personal commitments, and education requires flexibility. The Flexible MBA program at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School is designed for the working professional, offering online and in-person learning formats to accommodate your schedule and learning preferences.

As an online student, connecting with your peers and participating in in-person experiences can sometimes feel challenging. While online students may not share a physical classroom, there are plenty of opportunities to build meaningful connections and become an active part of the Carey community.

Flexible MBA alum Randall Kennedy ’24 needed a program that would accommodate his busy schedule while still providing him with the opportunity to connect with the Carey community. He chose the Flexible MBA because the program checked both boxes.

Kennedy was able to take advantage of in-person residency courses and Carey-offered networking events to connect with his peers from across the world and actively participate in various programs.
