The University of Kansas is one of the leading research universities in the United States and is known for its 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, part-time, and online) and doctoral programs. In recent years, the School has experienced remarkable growth and currently enrolls more than 2,300 undergraduate students. Within the School, the marketing major has demonstrated consistent growth and is now the second-largest major at the undergraduate level. Recently, the School added a program in professional selling which provides all undergraduate students with the option of obtaining a certificate in professional selling. In May 2016, the School of Business moved into its new $70.5 million home, Capitol Federal Hall.

The School of Business is housed at KU’s main campus in Lawrence. The School also offers programs at KU Edwards Campus in Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City.
