My favorite thing about living in Denver is the sense of adventure you get from being outdoors and near the mountains. KATRINA HU | Master of Accountancy, 2017

I like the open and welcoming nature of the Denver natives—the city really emulates the best of both worlds, from the east and west coasts. I also like to explore the art districts and breweries downtown, or just cruise along mountain roads, enjoying every hairpin turn.

01&.+!2.!"#$%&'%(#).0&!3#,4! /0'')+$*0+$%&'(&#!$*0#*,)$&1(0*$2'&$3'. What’s the Difference between an MBA and a Specialized Master’s Degree? The primary distinction between an MBA and a specialized master’s degree is breadth versus depth. An MBA is an internationally recognized degree designed to develop the broad-based skills required for careers in business and management. Alternatively, a specialized master’s degree is designed to provide a deep dive into a specific discipline, such as accounting, applied quantitative finance, business analytics, management, marketing or real estate & the built environment. It's important to first identify your career goals because one size does not fit all when determining the best path to take. However, students who pursue certain degrees often have similar goals.

• MBA: Students who pursue an MBA often want to achieve a greater leadership position within an organization, or they may be in the process of switching careers. MBA students may also be interested in starting their own businesses. MBA candidates typically have three to seven years of professional work experience before starting a program; those with more than 10 years may be best suited for an Executive MBA program.

Why an MBA? “I always wanted to earn an MBA and knew that in order to grow in my career, I needed to increase my business knowledge. I was looking for a program that would help me grow within my current company, earn the chance at a C-level position and expand my knowledge to one day start my own company. I felt Daniels was the school that could help me meet these goals.” NICK HAGGARD | Part-time Professional MBA, 2019

• Specialized Master’s: Students who pursue a specialized master’s degree often want to

become a specialist within a particular field. Candidates have diverse backgrounds and varying levels of experience. Candidates may have recently completed an undergraduate degree or they may have been in the workforce for a few years. Others are experienced, seasoned professionals looking to enhance their understanding of a specific discipline. Why a Specialized Master’s Degree? “A specialized master’s degree gives your undergraduate education an edge. I was an English and Psychology double major, and felt that in order to get a job in the business world, I needed more formal education as well as an understanding of the job landscape and career paths in Marketing.” ERIKA TORVIK | Master’s in Marketing, 2018
