At Daniels, You Will Find

• Two highly regarded programs; one powerful degree. You’ll study business fundamentals and ethical leadership at Daniels and expand your global perspective by taking courses at the University of Denver’s highly regarded Josef Korbel School of International Studies. Korbel’s professional master’s degree program is ranked No. 12 in the world for international master’s degrees, according to a biennial survey conducted by researchers at the College of William and Mary for Foreign Policy magazine.
• Faculty that inspire you. Our faculty members bring significant international business and consulting experience to the classroom, making them experts at bridging theories to real-world application. You’ll find teachers who know your name and care about your goals.
• A network with global reach. From your fellow students to our faculty,alumni and corporate partners, your Daniels network will help you maximize not only your time at Daniels, but your opportunities upon graduation. Our alumni—more than 30,000 worldwide in 70 countries—and corporate partners connect you to the best opportunities in your chosen field, anywhere in the world.
• Learning that takes you farther. Learning at Daniels is not confined to classrooms or even continents. Our approach challenges you to roll up your sleeves and get involved—with your classmates, your extended community and the world. In the required Global Theory in Practice class, students travel overseas to examine a specific industry or service in a transitional economy. Other work-study-abroad options include the Deutsche Bank Microfinance class or the Global Opportunities program.
• Full-time or part-time schedule. You can complete the IMBA in as little as 21 to 27 months full time, or you can earn your degree part time with a more flexible schedule.

Given the rigor of the Daniels program, we seek students who have demonstrated the ability to succeed in an academic setting. Graduate students must have earned a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
