Business ethics and integrity: We walk the talk.
"When you put your life in perspective, you realize how little time there is to make something truly significant out of it. To some people this might mean acquiring a lot of possessions, building a business or owning property. There's nothing wrong with these aspirations, but for me, they pale in comparison to individuals who want to leave something more consequential as their legacy."
Bill Daniels, cable television pioneer, philanthropist and namesake of our College.
Business ethics and academic integrity are not just buzz words at Daniels. They influence every aspect of the Daniels experience from courses that tackle real-world business dilemmas, to professors who challenge you to consider the ethical implications of your choices, to fellow students who give back through community service projects.
This is no "business as usual" college experience; at Daniels you'll receive an education that stretches beyond the classroom to prepare you to make a meaningful difference in business, your community and beyond.
Leading the way for two decades.
With the support of our namesake, Bill Daniels, we were one of the first business colleges to make business ethics part of the core curriculum. We've been leaders in teaching business ethics --our faculty members are recognized worldwide as experts--for over two decades. We believe it's our responsibility, especially in times like these, to produce graduates who will manage and lead with integrity.
An advantage with prospective employers.
Employers recognize that Daniels graduates are uniquely prepared to navigate complex business situations. Our graduates have both the business know-how and the ethical bearings to make smart and sustainable business decisions. They know that just one unethical decision or careless act can ruin a company's long-standing reputation let alone their own. It's no wonder that employers seek out our graduates.
We expect the best from business and you.
Ethics don't just apply to business, of course. We have equally high standards for the ethical conduct of the entire Daniels community of students, faculty and staff. All incoming undergraduates take the University of Denver Honor Code during orientation, pledging to uphold the principles of truth and honesty in academics. The Code of Student Conduct further defines the values that distinguish DU and Daniels: civility, community, integrity and responsibility.
Our students tell us that this focus on ethics and integrity creates a learning environment that is open and honest--and prepares them well for the challenges ahead.
