Faculty
CU's Executive MBA Program combines the resources and strengths of the university's three highly regarded Graduate Schools of Business on the Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs campuses. No other school in the region can provide this academic resource to its students.
All faculty at the Executive MBA's downtown Denver location possess both business-world experience and superior teaching abilities.
Those selected to teach in the program have made significant contributions to their fields and have demonstrated their ability to work effectively with executive-level students. They bring to the classroom their backgrounds as managers and consultants and their own experiences of working with national and international companies.
