To fuel all of this growth, we continue to hire exceptional faculty — professors like Deb Dey, whose research examines today’s technology-driven society. KU Business faculty propel our academic reputation with their publications in leading journals and awards for excellence in teaching.

Students in the School of Business gain unique educational experiences, tailored to their interests and career aspirations. Our EY Professionalism Program ensures that they develop a career plan and engage with potential employers from their first day as a Business Jayhawk. This leads to students like Garrison Green and Blake Bruno securing impressive internships and professional opportunities. Our students also get to explore and hone their potential through unique enrichment programs that offer everything from mentorship to leadership development.
