Company Profile

As needs of the workforce change, the University of Kansas Edwards Campus is an ever-evolving leader
in meeting and exceeding these demands. We do this by bringing the high-quality academic programs,
research and public service of the University of Kansas to the greater Kansas City community.
At the KU Edwards Campus in Overland Park, KS, we put the needs of students first by providing late
afternoon and evening class offerings, helping our students balance the responsibilities of work and
family. Focused on providing higher education to working adults, the Edwards Campus brings more than
25 high-quality academic degree programs from the University of Kansas to Greater Kansas City.
Since opening in 1993, the campus has contributed more than $500 million to the Johnson County
economy through education, research and service initiatives. In November 2008, the KU Edwards
Campus received funding from the the Johnson County Education Research Triangle initiative, allowing
us to build the Business, Engineering, Science and Technology Building and add new degree programs
focusing on these key disciplines.
In spring of this year, KUs Continuing Education program relocated to the Edwards Campus, enhancing
opportunities for undergraduate, graduate and continuing professional development and training for
the Greater Kansas City area.
In July of 2014, a new collaboration between the KU Edwards Campus, Johnson County Community
College and the Blue Valley and Olathe school districts was announced, enabling secondary students to
obtain a bachelors degree three years after high school graduation.
Centers and institutes at KU Edwards also partner with the community to develop innovative research
and address pressing societal needs. These include the Center for STEM Learning, Confucius Institute,
Hartley Audiology Clinic, Kansas Center for Autism Research and Training and the KU Public
Management Center.
