Get Connected: You will progress through your studies with a group of 30-40 peers and will gain access to our unmatched alumni network, our experienced faculty’s professional connections and our seasoned staff.

Experience More: You’re already out there in the real world, so why would we confine all your learning to a classroom? Our EMBA Team Sail Weekend, small-team Social Capital Project, industry-leading guest speakers and 12-day International Travel Seminar are just a few examples of how Daniels puts an executive slant on conventional business curriculum.

Break the Mold: Through unique curriculum such as the Business Model Canvas, design thinking, and social capital project the Daniels EMBA prepares students to apply innovation and creative thinking for business success.

Convenient Location: Equidistant from downtown and DTC, the University of Denver campus is the perfect setting for our EMBA students to expand their business perspectives while still maintaining their current careers.
