International Awards Duo for Daniels College of Business
November 01, 2011
The University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business was named as the “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.

July 16, 2010
How does one think strategically? Manage strategically? Formulate and implement a

Business Policy and Strategy, students strive to answer those and many other questions--but
not by reading about strategy in a textbook. "All quarter, students learn business
strategy by practicing it hands-on," says Dr. Narapareddy. "This is where it all comes
