Ethics & Integrity
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.
Leading the way for two decades.
With the support of our namesake, cable television pioneer and philanthropist, 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 more than two decades. We believe it is our responsibility 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 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 sign the University of Denver Honor Code pledging to uphold the principles of truth and honesty in academics. The Student Conduct Policy 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.
Global Emphasis
Daniels College of Business opens up the world to our students. From the classroom to around the globe, we’ve developed a wide array of international learning experiences that will open your mind, enhance your cross-cultural skills and prepare you to navigate globalization issues with confidence and integrity.
A global perspective is required.
All Daniels undergraduates are required to have an international education experience. Most students fulfill this requirement by studying abroad, but it also may be fulfilled by participating in an international internship or taking an international business course.
International Business Major
This interdisciplinary major encompasses business fundamentals, international law and policy and cultural awareness. The exploration of global issues is integrated throughout the curricula—everything from the nuts and bolts of international finance to sustainable development in emerging economies.
The major has a foreign language requirement, and courses are taken at both Daniels and DU’s Korbel School of International Studies.
Study Abroad
Our students are encouraged to expand their academic and cultural horizons by studying abroad. More than two-thirds of Daniels undergraduate students spend a quarter or longer studying abroad. Learn more about our study abroad programs.
Technical Expertise
At Daniels, your business education is comprehensive and complete. An essential part is learning the tools of the trade—the technical expertise demanded by business today.
Through coursework, simulations, case studies and in-the-field experiences, you’ll become fluent in business terminology and you’ll master the technology and methodologies used in a variety of business disciplines. Key business functions you’ll learn include analyzing financial statements, conducting market research and developing strategic business plans.
Microsoft Office Certification Requirement
Microsoft Office is widely used in the business world, and your mastery of it will help you better analyze data, model various business situations and create persuasive presentations. To demonstrate mastery of Microsoft Office applications, all Daniels undergraduates must pass the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) exam which includes a certification exam for Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

Favorite DU moment
My favorite DU moment has been getting to see our hockey team win two National Championships! Such a fun time for the DU community and the city as a whole.
Favorite way to get involved on campus
The best way to get involved on campus is by saying, "YES" more! It doesn`t necessarily have to be through seeking out specific clubs or groups, but by taking advantage of all the opportunities DU has to offer. Some of my best experiences at DU have been through a simple yes.
Favorite place to relax
My favorite place to relax is Wash Park. I enjoy walking around the pond and seeing everyone out and about, its a great way to get outside and decompress.

Favorite DU moment
Every moment that I am teaching for the Microsoft Office Specialist program is my favorite DU moment. I am extremely thankful to be part of an amazing group of TAs and to be able to interact with every student that enters Daniels. As a Teaching Assistant I’m able to show students the importance of Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Truly, without this experience, I would not be who I am today.
Of all the classes that I’ve taken at Daniels, Financial Modeling with Professor Shahram Amini was undoubtably my favorite. It was an incredibly valuable, technical class that furthered my love for data analytics and inspired me to pursue a BIA Masters in the future.
Last spring, I also participated in the 24 Hour Undergraduate Case Competition which was a fantastic experience. Working with my team, we stayed up all night coming up with creative solutions—it’s a great experience for every business student.
Favorite way to get involved on campus
The best way to get involved on campus is to join a group that aligns with your values and goals. For me, that was joining Delta Sigma Pi—DU’s professional business fraternity. Being part of this group has enabled me to connect with like-minded, ambitious individuals and grow my network.

Favorite DU moment
I don’t think I can pick just one…so I’ll pick two! Being able to do client projects within different classes at Daniels really immerses you and provides you with that experience of real life business that gives you an edge when going into internships.
Also being a part of the Daniels Ambassador Team (DAT) provided me the space to interact with prospective students and relay my amazing experiences throughout my years at DU knowing the impact our experiences provide these incoming business students.
Favorite way to get involved on campus
I believe the best way to get involved is by participating in activities that align with your interests and values, through my involvement in various organizations and clubs on campus, I’ve met some of my closest friends and being a part of these groups has not only allowed me to connect with others, but I’ve also learned a lot about myself and developed valuable skills along the way. Working on campus is another excellent way to engage, as most people you interact with are part of the same community, some may even become your peers and friends. For me in my involvement with DAT, I am also the Lead Peer Advisor this year, this role has enabled me to build strong relationships with my peers, supervisors, and mentors that I wouldn`t have made without getting involved.
