The Student Experience

MBA students learn much from their fellow students just as they do from their classes. Camaraderie between classmates can easily turn into future business partnerships and contracts.

Volunteer Opportunities
We give our Masters students many opportunities to give back to their community. This provides each student the chance to serve and enhance the lives
of others.

Case Competitions
Business case competitions give KU MBAs real life cases with area businesses. A top company executive presents a current issue facing the company, and student teams identify the problem, consider several alternative responses, and choose the option. They then make a presentation before a panel of company executives. Click here for a video on case competitions at KU.


Meetings with Warren Buffett
KU MBAs have the opportunity to visit with one of the world’s most successful investors, Warren Buffett, at the headquarters of Berkshire-Hathaway in Omaha. This is a private meeting that provides students the opportunity to both ask questions of Mr. Buffett and meet with the top executives of two Berkshire companies.

Professional Events
The KU MBA program encourages students to participate in professional events to increase networking opportunities. Several events occur throughout the year, such as the yearly Net Impact Conference and the National Association of Women MBA’s Conference and Career Fairs.

Student Organizations
KU MBA students are leaders, always looking for new, innovative ways to participate in their education. Each of these opportunities are entirely student-developed and student-led.
