MBA Business Administration

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program provides a general background in management and administration. This background enables the student to have the breadth and depth of knowledge required for an advanced-level management career. The program is designed to develop the concepts, analytical tools and communication skills required for competent and responsible administration of an enterprise viewed in its entirety, within its social, political and economic environment.

The professional MBA program allows the scheduling of classes with maximum flexibility so students can progress through the program at their own pace, by taking as little as one class per semester or as many as five classes per semester, at times that accommodate work schedules. Students may complete on-campus courses at our downtown Denver campus. The program can be completed in as little as 16 months or as long as five years plus one semester.

Online courses add additional flexibility. Students may complete all degree requirements online, or combine online and campus courses to broaden the choice of electives or to fit a business travel schedule or personal learning style. We also offer a fully-online MBA program that is designed for the working professional and features eight-week terms. For more information on the fully-online route, please click here.

Students may choose to add one of fifteen specializations to the professional MBA:

• Accounting
• Bioinnovation and Entrepreneurship
• Business Analytics
• Business Intelligence
• Business Strategy
• Commodities
• Entrepreneurship
• Finance
• Information Systems
• International Business
• Management
• Managing for Sustainability
• Marketing
• Risk Management and Insurance
• Sports and Entertainment

The MBA program is also available in different configurations: The One Year MBA and the Health Administration and the Executive MBA. All MBAs have similar curriculum requirements; they differ principally in focus, the flexibility of course scheduling, and the time required to complete the program. The One Year and Executive MBAs are lockstep programs, where students form a cohort and complete all program requirements together. No course transfers, waivers or substitutions are permitted.
