The CU Executive MBA Program has made a tremendous difference in my career. Not only is the program exceptional, but the opportunity to network with other professionals provides a depth and insight that would be hard to come by in any other setting.

Executive MBA Class of 2000

On entering the program I knew that I would gain great value from the financial analysis and accounting classes. One big surprise though was the great practical benefits I obtained from other courses. Halfway through this class, I basically recovered the financial investment in the program by applying a few key marketing principles at my company.

Executive MBA Class of 2002

The CU Executive MBA program was a lot more rigorous, fulfilling, and rich in content than a traditional MBA. There was just no comparison. All of my classmates were intent on getting their education, developing professionally, and opening up new opportunities. After completing the program I took advantage of CU’s dual-degree option to complete a second master’s degree in finance. With the Executive MBA as my core, I was largely able to design my own program.

The most valuable aspect of the program was the confidence it gave me in the leadership of my division. It was great to work with and learn from professors who are active in the 'real world' and well respected across the world.

The EMBA program offered me a timely and excellent knowledge base that empowers me to be successful in a corporate environment as well as in entrepreneurship. Knowledge is power! The EMBA program is definitely worth the time and investment.

Executive MBA Class of 2001

The small study group experience provided me an opportunity to explore and appreciate diversity in a collaborative environment. As the Director of Space Systems Program Operations, I implemented this model in a corporate structure when building the operations team to oversee and improve space sensor production performance. The result was a highly creative, effective team and a reduction in overall cycle time and workmanship defects.

Executive MBA Class of 2000

To me, what separates this program from other executive MBA programs is the quality of individuals that enroll. I learned a great deal from them and hopefully imparted a little of my own experience and knowledge to them. I believe I made friends for life.
