The Sage Colleges map

Sage comprises of two undergraduate colleges: coed Sage College of Albany (situated in the University Heights neighborhood of New York's capital city) and the historic all-women’s Russell Sage College located across the Hudson River in Troy.

Overview
The undergraduate curriculum is quite varied and professional, offering students the opportunity to complete certain degrees in three years and to fast-track into advanced degree programs in the Sage Graduate Schools (Education, Management, and Health Sciences). Sage students take advantage of our location — in the New York capital — with access to many opportunities for internship experiences to supplement in-class education. Whether in government, education, the arts, health care, or business, Sage students combine classroom theory with ‘real life’ practice to enhance their career preparation.
