Home > Academics

Academics are a top priority

The best senior faculty from all three CU business schools have pooled their talents to create an integrated, quantitative curriculum for the Executive MBA Program. You will gain knowledge of basic business disciplines – accounting, marketing, organizational behavior, etc. – then integrate them into your strategic decision-making processes.

Year one lays the foundation and culminates with an integrative seminar that helps you apply what you've learned to your own organizations.

Year two takes a broad approach, thematically based on thinking strategically in a global economy.

The two sessions are separated by a three-month summer break to allow participants to re-charge and spend time with families and friends.

There is no other class on campus that these instructors would rather teach than the EMBA program, and they actually compete to be able to teach this program. They know their topic, and they are able to teach it with such a degree of energy and excitement that really gets you engaged.
