At the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains

The University of Denver and the Daniels College of Business is just 90 minutes from seven of the world’s top-10 ski resorts, including Vail, Breckenridge and Winter Park. You can reach the Rocky Mountains by car in under an hour – and take in some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world.

The Rocky Mountain environment will appeal to your sense of individualism, friendliness and energy. It’s not just about our great lifestyle or spectacular skiing; it’s about openness. Openness translates to innovation, an entrepreneurial spirit and a willingness to embrace new business models. The pioneer spirit survives in those who come here from many different regions and make special efforts to stay.
