What our students & alumni say

Here is what former students have said about the Marketing Communications Graduate Program:

“The University of Kansas Graduate Studies in Marketing Communications program was an amazing developmental experience. The coursework was directly applicable to the current challenges and competitive forces we face as marketers. The program opened my eyes to consider the “big picture” and taught me the strategic skills and planning processes needed to make an impact.”

“My experience with KU’s Integrated Marketing Communication’s graduate program was not only rewarding professionally but personally. The gained knowledge and degree helped advance my career but it’s the relationships and friendships formed that have meant the most.”

Kem Snavely
Creative Manager
LabOne, Inc.

“As an undergraduate, I majored in political science. After choosing a career in sales and marketing, the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) program was the perfect choice for me to learn more about the industry while already on the job. During my IMC studies, I was always able to use lessons that I learned in class one night the following day at the office.”

“I would say that one of the best things this program offers if practical, hands-on opportunities to work on real-life projects with other highly-regarded experienced marketing and public relations professionals in the program. Through the development of those relationships, I not only bring new skills and knowledge to my job, but I also bring new contacts that can benefit both my company and my own career.”

“I’ve been told that my deciding to take post-gradutate marketing classes at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus shows great initiative as I learn the business, strategy and marketing side of the industry.”

“Your timely and accurate referrals both times I contacted you is very much appreciated. As you know, I graduated from the IMC program nine years ago and now live in St. Petersburg, Florida. Your service to an alumnus of the program helps me feel connected to the University.”
