Robert Morris University is uniquely organized to put college back into your busy life.  RMU offers flexible program schedules, easy access to its 7 locations, over 20 undergraduate and graduate programs and generous academic and financial assistance.  RMU's goal is to prepare you for success with one of the many options available to you.

Full-Time Flex

Robert Morris University has designed a class schedule specifically for the adult student interested in completing a degree while working full-time.  This Full-Time Flex module requires the student to be on location only two nights a week while earning 12 hours of credit. It allows students to complete their studies as a full-time student.  This model does not decrease contact time - it replaces traditional classroom time with innovative methods and technologies that allow more interaction between faculty and students, as well as students with each other, than standard programs.

Dual Degree Program - Bachelor's & Master's Advantage

Students with an Associate Degree and a 3.25 cumulative GPA or higher may be accepted into the Dual Degree Program and work simultaneously toward a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in just two years.
