Introduction
The Business School’s graduate certificates are primarily intended to give individuals with an undergraduate degree in any discipline access to business courses that can help them succeed in their current job, transition into a new role, or even launch their own company.
Students can pursue entrepreneurship certificates even if they are not CU Denver degree-seeking students. The GMAT is not required. Certain certificate credits are eligible to satisfy requirements within some of the MS or MBA degrees.
Classes are taught in a variety of formats, including in-person (evening), online, and hybrid. They are offered in 8-week timeframes during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
