An advanced degree like an online MBA can help strengthen your business acumen and give you a competitive edge that empowers you to apply new skills in your current role or step into new opportunities in nearly any field.

With increased knowledge and skills comes greater earning power—entry-level MBA salaries are on average 20 percent higher than salaries for those with only an undergraduate business degree, and salaries for MBA graduates reach as much as 80 percent higher within five years.4

What can joining the Jayhawk family do for you?

Half of our alumni came to KU with the goal of gaining the skills and knowledge to facilitate their own career advancement,5 and we have helped them build momentum toward achieving those goals while also challenging and revolutionizing the way they think about business. The Jayhawk alumni network is an essential part of the KU community, on campus and far beyond it. Read more about the importance of an alumni network.
