Some exciting numbers from the KU School of Business
Saturday, October 10, 2009
Sometimes numbers tell the story best. At the KU School of Business, we have some exciting numbers to share.
Let's start with the number 28. U.S. News and World Report recently ranked the KU School of Business 28th in the Nation among public schools. That means we moved up 12 places and into the top 30. Now those are some exciting numbers! This reflects the momentum the School has been generating and the steady progress we've been making.
301 - That's a big number. Our MBA program is included in Princeton Review's, "The Best 301 Business Schools." In this 2010 ranking, based on student surveys, students described us as "the best business school in the Midwest," and they raved about our faculty, alumni, the international program and the help they receive from the Business Career Services Center as they get ready to launch their new careers.

8 - That is the number of Undergraduate majors we will soon be offering. As part of our on-going advancement, in 2010 we will launch a new degree available exclusively at the Edwards Campus in the Kansas City area. The new Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree is tailored for working adults, with late afternoon and early evening classes. We designed it to boost the career prospects of working adults in Johnson County. To learn more about it, click here.
26 - up from 11 - Those are enrollment numbers in our newest Masters program in Supply Chain Management at Ft. Leavenworth. The first year saw 11 graduates. For the second year, we have more than doubled the enrollment with 26 Army students (25 Army Majors and a member of the Wounded Warrior Initiative.) We are very excited about the quick success of this program, offered through the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and it is growing fast. To read more, click here.
70 and 64 -These numbersmean nearly a 70% increase in the enrollment in our full-time MBA program over last fall, with 64 first-year students enrolled this fall compared to 38 last year. The tough economic times account for some of the increase in applications, but we are sure our experiential learning and international opportunities also play a big role in setting us apart from the rest.
