Take your GSBC certificate and turn it into an MS in Finance or MBA
When you finish your course work with the Graduate School of Banking in Colorado come and add a MBA or MS in Finance degree with the University of Colorado Denver Business School.
We have teamed up with the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado (GSBC) to allow graduates of their program to continue their education with either an MS in Finance or an MBA. GSBC is located at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
With your previous work at GSBC, you can earn your MBA with as few as 21 additional hours
The course work you do with the Graduate School of Banking in Colorado will be applied to your MBA or MS in Finance in the following way:
- If you complete the entire three year program, you're eligible to have 9 credit hours awarded for FNCE6520, Banking Principals and Practices.
- If you waived the first year's course work and came in as a second year student to the BSBC program, you may have 6 credit hours awarded for FNCE6520, Banking Principals and Practices after you have completed your the work with GSBC.
Banking Principals and Practices
FNCE6520 will count as Finance Free Electives towards your degree.
As a graduate of the three year program you will only need to
- complete 21 more hours of coursework to be awarded an MS in Finance
- complete 34 more hours of coursework to be awarded a MBA.
If you are a graduate of the two year program will be awarded
- MS in Finance with only 24 more hours of course work.
- MBA with only 37 hours of coursework
These credits are issued to you at a rate of $110 per credit, much less expensive than regular course credits at the UC Denver Business School. This can give you a savings of almost $2700.
