International Awards Duo for Daniels College of Business
Press Release
Daniels ranked in the top 100 Executive MBA programs in the world by the Financial Times
The University of Denver's Daniels College of Business was named as the 2011 "Best Business School in the Western U.S." by European CEO Magazine. The Daniels College of Business won the award based upon the success of Daniels in creating a learning environment founded on ethics while maintaining real world relevance. Its innovative curriculum, the Daniels Compass,is the foundation of all 14 Daniels degree programs. The Compass is more than a set of courses—it is representative of the college-wide commitment to ethical leadership. The curriculum prepares both graduate and undergraduate students to navigate complex business situations and consider the economic, ethical, legal, political and environmental implications of business decisions. The judging panel took into account that the Daniels experiential learning projects are focused on solving real-world issues including projects in Peru, Ghana, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Africa and Albania to work on various aspects of sustainability challenges faced by corporate and civil society organizations. The global reach of Daniels as well as its engagement with regional organizations made Daniels an outstanding example of how a business school can add real value to both international and local communities.
"At Daniels, ethics is at the core of all that we do and is the foundation for all that we teach," said Daniels Dean Christine Riordan. "We want to create well-rounded business leaders who value social responsibility as much as a healthy bottom line. Most important, it is our commitment to change the way the world thinks about business—and how business thinks about the world." Dean Riordan will accept the award on the floor of the London Stock Exchange on November 22, 2011.
In October 2011, the Financial Times ranked the executive MBA program at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business as one of the world's top 100 EMBA programs in its annual ranking. The Daniels EMBA program, tailored to working mid-career professionals, is the only Colorado program included in the ranking.
