Evening MBA Program
The Evening MBA at Leeds School of Business provides an in-person MBA experience with classes two nights a week, making it ideal for working professionals. It’s also the #1 Best Part-time MBA program in Colorado and #24 Best Public Part-time MBA Program in the country (U.S. News & World Report, 2026).
With this program, you benefit from built-in support and resources to help you succeed. All of the services available to full-time Leeds graduate students are at your fingertips: academic advising, mentoring, networking, a peer cohort, clubs, activities and career workshops.
It’s a routine you’ll come to rely on: Two nights a week you’ll head to the University of Colorado Boulder campus to join your peers in interactive classes with prominent Leeds faculty. Students can take electives in either the Hybrid or Full-Time MBA formats as space allows. Two final-year capstone projects provide students with the opportunity to develop a customer-discovery business idea and showcase the skills they have built throughout the program, both as individual contributors and as members of a team.
Within two years, you graduate with a highly regarded MBA and launch the next chapter of your career.
