Built for your transition
From your military service you've learned resilience, confidence and high-stakes decision making, all critical strengths for business success.
The Veterans MBA builds on those strengths, gives you a solid foundation of business skills, and prepares you for the shift to corporate culture and communication.
Program highlights:
- Learn in person in a small cohort to build meaningful connections with your faculty and peers.
- Learn on a weekend schedule, so you can advance your career without disrupting your life.
- Build relationships with employers and defense industry leaders at regular networking lunches.
Yellow Ribbon Funding
For eligible veterans and their families, Daniels and the University of Denver cover tuition costs over the GI Bill cap, making us a fully funded Yellow Ribbon institution. If you’re 100% GI Bill eligible, then the Yellow Ribbon program will cover your full tuition and fees.

FAQs for the Veterans MBA
How is the Veterans MBA different from a traditional MBA?
Our program will help you transition into a corporate career in or outside of the defense industry through networking and skills mastery in only one year. You’re learning with like-minded peers from all branches of the military at an accelerated pace, and many of our faculty are military veterans.
What is the VMBA class schedule?
You'll meet every other weekend, 8 hours per day Friday and Saturday.
Is there flexibility in the program if I have to travel and miss a weekend?
This depends on how much the travel will affect your ability to contribute to the cohort and the classroom. If it’s occasional travel that doesn’t significantly interfere with your coursework, you can watch a recording of class. If you’ll be traveling most of the time and miss a lot of class time, we recommend you consider one of our other MBA programs.
