We couldn’t be happier that you’ve chosen the CU Denver Business School to pursue your degree!  Helping you find your passion, develop your business acumen, and launch your career is truly an honor.  You’re going to learn about business from passionate and skilled faculty, and through experiences embedded in one of the most exciting cities in the country – Denver!

We live in unprecedented times with challenges that no one has faced before.  But, we have spent months planning for course delivery that will provide you with high quality educational experiences and for the support services you need for success.  

Ensuring your safety, and the safety of our faculty and staff, means accepting that many of our previous practices have to be adapted to a new reality.  What hasn’t changed is that you can still take the same classes and you can still access the same services such as advising. You may very well have an easier time scheduling a meeting and feel more comfortable discussing your situation from the privacy of your home. 

You’re now part of the CU Denver Business School community, and how deeply you want to benefit from this community is up to you.  Your classmates can become life-long friends, business partners, and sources of inspiration, if you are open to the possibility of developing these relationships.  Similarly, faculty and staff can provide valuable direction and advice, if you ask them.  I encourage you to make the most of your time at CU Denver. 

Campus life will eventually return to a post-COVID experience, and that experience will be made better from what we’re learning and improving with education today.  I look forward to meeting you and watching you grow in the coming years.
