DENVER — The University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) is launching its Executive MBA program in Aviation, co-branded with Denver International Airport (DEN).

Kicking off in January 2026, the Executive MBA in Aviation will be the world’s first degree for leaders and aspiring executives that spans the entire aviation ecosystem, according to university officials.

The CU Denver Business School will deliver an 18-month hybrid program to enable students to pursue their degree without career interruption, university officials added.

The Executive MBA in Aviation includes all the foundational knowledge of a traditional MBA, while immersing students in the interconnected elements that drive aviation, university officials said.

Designed and taught by aviation professionals and business school faculty from across the country, the program is targeted at experienced professionals working in airlines and airports, municipalities, supply chain partners, and trade unions.

In-person classes will be held at DEN, the sixth busiest airport in the world.

Students will also have four week-long residencies in Washington, D.C., and at major airports around the globe to experience firsthand how different airports operate, university officials said.
