The Leeds School of Business at CU, Boulder is based at a university that’s creating the industries of the future – on a campus with four Nobel Prize winners – and in a city that’s rated as one of the nation’s top five for business creation. Those powerful assets are reflected in the School: Top-rate academics in business functions, opportunities to connect across campus and around the world, and an emphasis on programs that develop students’ skills for professional impact, and tastes of how business creation and growth happen in the real world. Leeds is also a center of innovation. In our community, faculty specialize in it and companies we work with show how it’s done. Our community, both the school and the city, attract inspired people who come up with inspiring ideas. All this gives Leeds an edge in developing confident, exceptional performers—Leeds people are ready to conquer the tough job market and the huge challenges of a shifting global economy. Leeds people are drivers of value creation for business, nonprofits and society at large. We’re rooted in social responsibility and ethics, with the most fully integrated student development in this area of any school in the country. To help ensure students get the most out of what Leeds has to offer, we provide a personalized “whole student” approach. We help students find the right focus and get the most out of a big university by working with them one on one. We have one of the best mentoring programs in the US, connecting students with working professionals. We also offer top-rated career and academic advising services. And we have active partnerships with companies who help with our programs and bring great job postings for students. Boulder is also one of the most beautiful settings in America, with stunning vistas and amazing opportunities for recreation and inspiration. We’re within easy reach of other places that make Colorado a global destination, including Denver, Aspen and Vail.
