The University of Kansas is a leading research university in the United States with a strong tradition of academic excellence. Since 1909, the University of Kansas has been a member of the Association of American Universities, the premier consortium of research institutions in North America.

The University of Kansas School of Business offers undergraduate, master’s (full-time and online) and doctoral programs. In recent years, the School has experienced remarkable growth with enrollment approaching 5,000 students. Growing the breadth and impact of entrepreneurship programming features prominently in KU’s strategy. The School offers a robust set of entrepreneurship degree programs and coursework at the graduate and undergraduate level and has made significant investments in entrepreneurship co-curricular programming.

In Fall 2027, KU will open the Entrepreneurship Hub (thehub.ku.edu), a new 29,600 square foot facility dedicated to supporting Jayhawk student entrepreneurs.
