Self-Discover Management
and Your Future at and
with KUSOM
At KUSOM, education is not delivered; it is discovered
by each learner for the benefit of us all. We believe
that education must be personally meaningful,
professionally rewarding, socially contributing, and
intellectually stimulating. For last nineteen years,
KUSOM in a very humble way has been creating and
making available to its community of learners an
educational environment and experience for them to
aspire for and achieve these purposes.
Education takes place at KUSOM the way it ought to
and for the reasons it must. It is the process of selfdiscovery, active involvement, and purposeful passion
for learning that defines our educational approach.
And learners pursue education at KUSOM for being
better able to lead self and others for enrichment of
life and its experience. We at KUSOM are proud of this
tradition as much as we are thrilled by the potential of
future that we have defined for ourselves, i.e. to be one
of the top 20 business schools in the South Asia while
continuing to be the leader management development
institute in the country.
I welcome you to be part of and carry forward this
tradition of self-discovering management and future at and with KUSOM.
