Full-Time MBA
The full-time KU MBA program is primarily for students who want to return to school full-time in order to change careers. Most students will complete the program in two years. Some students, however, complete the 52 hour program in 17 months, while others complete their MBA at the Edwards campus if their internship turns into a full-time job. During this program, you will choose a concentration that best fits your career interests.
