Georgia State’s Robinson College of Business Launches Additional Online Learning Options Across Its Graduate Programs

ATLANTA — Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business is expanding flexible learning options across its graduate programs to better accommodate busy working professionals. Graduate students in all specialized master’s programs, graduate certificates and the part-time MBA will now have the option to join classes online or in-person, making Robinson one of the only business schools in Georgia to offer this level of flexibility.

Classes taught in-person at Georgia State’s Buckhead Center will be concurrently offered online, allowing students to participate in class remotely as needed. This allows students to choose the format that best fits their schedules or learning preferences on any given day of their class.

Many students pursue Robinson graduate degrees while advancing their careers, making flexibility a key part of the college’s approach to graduate education. Increasing online offerings improves access for students balancing full-time work, geographic constraints, or career transitions. Select programs, including the MBA, also offer fully asynchronous online options for students seeking maximum scheduling flexibility.

“As a professional working in the Atlanta suburbs, it can sometimes be challenging to leave work and make it through rush hour traffic in time for class, so it’s hugely beneficial having the option to join class online on those busy days. That flexibility helps me stay on top of my job without sacrificing my academic work,” said Katya Sopizhenko, a current student in Robinson’s M.S. in Commercial Real Estate program.

Because many Robinson students bring experience from a wide range of industries and organizations, classroom discussions often reflect diverse professional perspectives. Offering both in-person and online options for each class ensures that these perspectives remain part of the peer learning experience regardless of where students participate.

“Working professionals need flexibility, but they also expect strong engagement with faculty and classmates,” said Robinson Dean Richard Phillips. “Our flexible learning model lets students participate in ways that best fit their schedules while maintaining the same academic experience and applied focus that define Robinson’s graduate programs.”

Located in Atlanta’s Buckhead district and embedded in Atlanta’s dynamic business ecosystem and innovation corridors, Robinson has long designed its graduate programs to keep students closely engaged with industry and professional practice.
