The advising staff welcomes you to the Business School at the University of Colorado Denver! Thank you for selecting CU Denver.
Below you’ll find a link to your official degree plan and specialization option sheet. The degree plan outlines the specific classes required to earn your degree and lists some of the Graduate Business School-specific policies. We recommend that you print and save this degree plan and update it as you move through your program.

MBA Program Specific Information:
• The MBA program can be completed entirely on-campus, online or in a combination of both formats.
• Specializations are optional. To declare or change your specialization, please email grad.advising@ucdenver.edu with your name, student ID number and specialization chosen. Select specializations are available online.
• Most new MBA students will start their program by taking a few of the Core MBA courses; specifically those which do not have any prerequisites. This is recommended because many of these Core MBA courses are prerequisites for future Core or Elective courses in the MBA program.
• BUSN 6530 and BUSN 6550 are quantitative courses and are prerequisites for some of the other Core MBA courses. Your options to enroll in subsequent courses increase greatly once these prerequisites have been completed. We recommend mixing quantitative courses with qualitative courses to not overload yourself in one semester.
• For students pursuing the degree online, the MBA core classes are generally offered in an online format during the fall and spring semesters. During the summer, the MBA core classes vary between being offered online or on-campus. Additionally, not all electives are available online; use UCDAccess to plan accordingly.
• In addition to taking classes offered at our downtown Denver campus, you are welcome to take your classes, if available, at our South Denver location: 10035 Peoria St., Parker, CO 80134. For more information about taking classes at our South Denver location, please review New Admitted Student Information.
• Get more information regarding our graduate programs by reviewing our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on the Business School website.
