MBA Online Programs

MBA ONLINE PROGRAM DELIVERS KU to Your World

| 2016 Q1 | story by AUSTIN FALLEY, Director of Communnications , KU Business School

In 2015, the University of Kansas School of Business launched a fully online MBA program, giving countless prospective students access to the KU MBA from anywhere in the world.

Our inaugural cohort of online MBA students came from many parts of the U.S., including Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Minneapolis. These MBA students work across business functions and industries—accounting, marketing, health care and banking—and their professional experiences are varied. One current online MBA student is even a professional basketball player.

KU online MBA students are doctors, lawyers, engineers and marketers looking to build their management acumen. Our current students tell us they chose KU because of its strong national reputation and the flexibility of our online MBA program.

You’ll take online courses from the same faculty as our full-time MBA program. Once complete, your Foundations of Business credits can be applied toward earning the KU online MBA in the future.

Our online MBA students are engineers who have moved into management roles; they are marketing managers who hope to sharpen their business knowledge; and they are bankers who want to stay competitive in an ever-changing global marketplace.

No matter your goals, the University of Kansas will help you discover where business is going.
