Navigate your success at the Business School
You have the goal of graduating, and we have the goal of getting you there. Stay on the right track with all of the resources we provide for you at the Business School.
Every other Monday during the semester, the Business School sends out a student newsletter called The Gist. As a current Business School student, you’re automatically signed up. It includes announcements, events, fun facts, and news relevant to Business School students that you don’t want to miss out on.
If you’ve checked your inbox and believe you aren’t receiving the email, contact the Business School marketing team, so we can find a solution.
As a CU Denver Business School student, scholarships are available to you every semester. We offer program-specific and class-specific scholarships prior to each semester.
