Master’s in Entrepreneurship
Launching in Fall 2023, our new MS in Entrepreneurship degree program is the only one offered in the state of Colorado. This program is designed to equip students with a bootstrapping mindset so that they can think lean and create growth in any organization with minimal resources. Courses heavily emphasize experiential learning, and many are taught by Colorado’s top entrepreneurs through a variety of methods and formats to maximize accessibility and flexibility for students. Through topics covering small business leadership, marketing, legal, financial, analytical, and operational skills, students are tasked with going beyond the classroom to build and test their ideas in real-world settings.
MBA – Entrepreneurship Specialization
The Entrepreneurship specialization with the MBA program provides a range of focused courses geared toward individuals looking to start their own business. Students are given the opportunity to learn from case studies, classroom instruction, and guest lectures featuring successful entrepreneurs and renowned business leaders. Students must complete four entrepreneurship courses to receive the specialization.
Entrepreneurship Certificate
This three-course graduate certificate is available to degree-seeking and non-degree students alike who want to brush up on small business fundamentals, fill in their skill gaps, and connect with the entrepreneurial community. Choose any three graduate-level ENTP courses to earn this certificate.
Credit hours earned as a part of the certificate can count toward a graduate degree (MS in Entrepreneurship or MBA), should you choose to pursue one at the CU Denver Business School.
