Description of Learning Environment for Students
The Leeds School of
Business at
the University of Colorado
Boulder fosters a supportive
and collaborative environment
that encourages intellectual
competition and the
sharing of ideas in
an eager and receptive
environment. A key differentiator
of the Leeds School
is our focus on how
ethical, sustainable
business practices enhance
the way we conduct business
today.
Whether it's
the Socially Responsible Enterprise course, a course
on smart growth in real
estate development,
or courses on how environmental
management can result
in corporate profits,
the Leeds School is
dedicated to encouraging
programs that contribute
to the world's understanding
of the impact business
has on society.
The goal of the MBA program is to provide
you with a rich educational
and extracurricular
environment that will
prepare you for success
in an increasingly complex
global work environment.
Professors use a blend
of formal lectures,
class discussions, case
studies, and company-based
consulting projects
to offer you a comprehensive
understanding of world
business. In addition,
co-curricular activities
sponsored by the school,
student organizations,
and the business community
enhance the academic
experience by providing
you with a wide variety
of projects, mentors,
internships, and networking
opportunities with the
professional community.
