All feature rigorous coursework and hands-on experiences that are continually updated to reflect current business practices. But that’s only part of the equation. We also seek to develop your ethical compass, life skills and professionalism so you’re ready to make a positive difference in your career, your community and beyond.

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.

Congratulations to the 2023-2024 winner of the 🏆Pioneer Cup🏆, the DU Sales Team!
The DU Sales Team wins the Pioneer Cup for Outstanding Undergraduate Business Student Group thanks to their dedication to the Daniels community, working to outreach with alumni, and providing both social and professional opportunities for their members.
The Cup is awarded based on involvement, positive change, and the difference the group made to the Daniels community.
From club president, Andrew Moore – “The DU Sales Team brings students opportunity in a field that is growing among business education institutions: sales. We connect the Daniels community with industry professionals who share their experiences in the field of sales, expose students to real life sales scenarios, and emphasize helping students get jobs! All of this said, we know that sales can feel lonely at times and intimidating at others, which is where the communal nature of the team comes into play. Beyond all else, the sales team is a place where students can seek and give support to each other.”

FAVORITE DANIELS EXPERIENCE
My favorite Daniels experience is taking the Human Resource class which is a part of the Management courses. During the class, we are put through a simulation where we are in the role of HR making decisions to improve the company. This allowed us to look through the lens of HR in hiring, budgeting, training, promoting, etc. I felt that this helped me understand the role of HR and being able to talk to Prof. Mitchell who teaches the class she helped me solidify my choice to pursue HR as a career.
MEDIA YOU RECOMMEND
A book I recommend is called “Changed Your Brain, Change Your Life: Before 25,” by Jesse Payne. The book connects to how your brain develops and influences your behavior and habits along with tips to develop good habits.
FAVORITE WAY TO GET INVOLVED ON CAMPUS
My favorite way to get involved on campus is by being a part of the SHRM club and Management Club. Currently a part of the leadership board of the SHRM Club, I have enjoyed working with many students, faculty, and HR professionals to create amazing events. It has been amazing to learn about the HR role by going on tours, having panels, and hosting discussions around HR. With the Management Club, I have enjoyed the peer-to-peer mentorship program, being able to participate in fun activities and engaging with other management students.
