If you're an experienced working professional, you can obtain your MBA in less than two years—while you continue to work. The CU Executive MBA Program is specifically designed for working business professionals, decision makers, entrepreneurs, and professionals working in engineering, medical, legal, and scientific fields.

All classes in the three-campus University of Colorado Executive MBA Program are held at the CU Executive Education Center. The Center is centrally located in Downtown Denver, convenient to I-25, Auraria Parkway, and Speer Blvd. The Center is at the west end of Larimer Square in LoDo, giving Executive MBA students the additional after-class benefits of all the amenities downtown Denver offers.

The facilities are designed specifically for the executive-level student and the classrooms resemble a technologically advanced boardroom more than a classroom.
