Kozminski University (formerly known as Leon Kozminski Academy of Entrepreneurship and Management; in Polish, Akademia Leona Koźmińskiego) is a private,[2] nonprofit business school in Warsaw, Poland; according to the Financial Times, it is considered to be "Poland’s highest rated private university".[3] It was established in 1993 and named after Leon Koźmiński, a Polish professor of economics and entrepreneurship, and also the father of Andrzej Koźmiński, the founder and the first rector of the school.
