Everything from course assignments to extracurricular events heavily emphasize experiential learning, and many are led by Colorado’s top entrepreneurs through a variety of methods and formats to maximize accessibility and flexibility. Through topics covering small business leadership, marketing, legal, financial, analytical, and operational skills, you’ll be tasked with going beyond the classroom to build and test your ideas in real-world settings.

MBA – Entrepreneurship Specialization

Specializing in Entrepreneurship will provide you with the practical skills needed to drive innovation, whether that’s within an existing company or leading a startup of your own. Complete any four of our entrepreneurship courses that cover core business functions through an entrepreneurial lens, focusing on areas such as idea generation, business planning, funding sources, and market entry. Through the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship, you can attend year-round experiential events and programs, like THE CLIMB | Business Plan Competition, and receive mentorship from an extensive network of seasoned entrepreneurs and business innovators.
