MBA - College of Business
A master of business administration is one of the most recognized credentials for advanced business professionals. KU’s innovative MBA degree is built so that you can pursue two of three distinct professional certificates, letting you customize your focus based on your interests and career demands.
Our MBA program is flexible, consisting of 30 credits offered as a combination of hybrid and 100% online courses, as well as a mix of 15-week and 7.5-week courses. You can pursue your academic interest in the method and timeframe that fits your busy schedule, and finish in as little as 3 semesters.
Thanks to its recent redesign, our MBA program is cross-functional and intentionally cuts across traditional business silos, meaning that you graduate with holistic knowledge of all aspects of business.
