The Online MBA available through the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business offers “a flexible schedule, reasonable price,…and a GMAT waiver,” allowing working professionals the ability to earn a degree in as little as 21 months (with the option of four start dates a year). The 60-credit curriculum is based in one of four concentrations, providing the “right balance of independent study and interaction with peers” thanks to a blend of online courses, self-paced learning, and interactive experiences (which includes two in-person domestic or global immersion s). Faculty “are very engaged with their materials and well-connected to the synchronous and asynchronous coursework” and “have been easy to contact and are always willing to help or engage in further discussion if you ask.” The amount of “face-to-face class time is reasonable,” there “are multiple evening times (early evening and later evening) to accommodate those in the Pacific time zone,” and the teamwork and participation requirements “force you to get out of your comfort zone.”
Daniels’ “technology platforms are easy to use and reliable” and “the infrastructure easily launches us into networking and dialogue.” Students find that the "supplementary work is extremely helpful and provides value to the texts that are read,” and “having the accountability of once per week classes where everyone was able to Zoom really added to the strength of the program.” As one student says, “Overall the [work] load has been immediately applicable to my career and the immediate benefits help with the balance.”
