One college, two campuses
Russell Sage College, formerlyknown as The Sage Colleges,is a coeducational private college with two campuses. Sage’s locations in theneighboring cities of Albany and Troy, New York, offer two distinct experiences. Students have the opportunity to learn and connect on both of our campuses. This unique advantage provides an education with moredepth, a community with greater perspective, and a student life with more to enjoy.
Student life
Sage’s community is diverse, inclusive, and close-knit. With clubs and organizations, student traditions, and 17sports teams, there’s an opportunity for every Sage student to get involved.
Sage has a professional theatre company on its Troy campus and the renowned Opalka Gallery on its Albanycampus, both of which bring the local community and campus together. Free shuttles ensure that students cantake advantage of both campuses andall they have to offer without having to pay for transportation.
As part of Sage’s strategic plan, the College is launching a Women’s Institute and a wellness initiative calledSage THRIVE. Drawing on Sage’s century-long dedication to women’s empowerment, the institute will promote women’s leadership, gender equity, and inclusivity through a student learning community. Sage THRIVE will incorporate a College-wide emphasis on health, well-being, success, and happiness—supported by creative connections between the curriculum and student life.
Academics
Sage academics are focused and relevant. Our multidisciplinary programs are designed to promote career preparation and advancement on both theundergraduate and graduate levels. Our faculty implement carefully developed curricula that enhance student comprehension and advance workforce opportunity.
