Introduction

The Business School’s undergraduate certificates are primarily intended for students currently pursuing a degree in any undergraduate discipline that want to expand their business knowledge to give themselves a leg up when they enter the workforce. However, they can also be taken by students with only a high school diploma or who have graduated but wish to augment their academic and professional training.

Students can pursue an undergraduate certificate even if they are not CU Denver students. Credit earned as a part of the certificate can potentially count towards one’s undergraduate degree, should a student choose to pursue a degree here. It is recommended to consult with the student’s academic advising team to confirm this, based on one’s chosen major.

The CU Denver Business School is offering a four-course certificate in Business Fundamentals, which is designed to sharpen students’ business acumen and help provide competitive advantage in one’s chosen field. All courses are taught by CU Denver Business School faculty, who possess both the academic training as well as the industry experience to tailor classes to students’ needs and make the material relevant and engaging.
