MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship

One of the most exciting parts of innovation is the opportunity to drive positive change in new and exciting ways. Our innovation MBA will help you to do just that. You’ll learn from faculty with hands-on experience and work alongside a diverse student body that will open up new points of view. You’ll also have the chance to receive free business coaching and pitch your own ideas through our CU Launch initiative. Throughout your innovation MBA, our professors will engage you in topics like venture capital, intellectual property rights, and long-term planning strategy. And because we want to make this program convenient for you, our courses are offered at our main campus, our off-site locations and online. Wherever you are, this program will help you start pursuing the ideas you’re passionate about.

Graduate Certificate

Our graduate MBA certificate (or “Mini-MBA”) is ideal for busy working professionals looking to stand out in their industry without committing to a full MBA. Pursuing this graduate certificate will help you upskill as you learn the important basics of business. We’ll give you a taste of what an MBA is like while you gain a competitive advantage over your peers.

Post-Baccalaureate students may apply to the university to pursue a graduate MBA certificate in the following areas:

• Business Administration: complete 12 credits of coursework from the MBA core
• Management: complete a combination of 12 credits of coursework from the MBA core and MBA concentrations
• Concentration-specific (i.e. Accounting, Human Resources, Leadership, etc.): complete 12 credits of coursework from within one MBA concentration

Students may at any time transition into the MBA degree program course of study through the standard application process.
