America's Premier Community Banking School
Since 1950, the financial-services industry has trusted the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado to develop its leaders. This legacy, combined with a cutting-edge portfolio of community-banking focused educational programs, invaluable networking opportunities and an enviable location, makes GSBC an ideal education partner for community banks today.
Why GSBC?
We’re incredibly proud of our curriculum and expert faculty, but we’re also pretty proud of our view. The community bank leaders who attend GSBC programs often say that the networking opportunities and beauty of Colorado are two undeniable benefits. See why the GSBC experience is matched by none.

I love the structure of the EDI program. I was only out of the bank for 12 days over the course of 19 months and the time spent with instructors, coaches and fellow attendees was incredibly valuable in terms of sharpening leadership skills and fostering new and innovative ideas. In addition, the projects between sessions are meaningful and provide real results that add dollars to the bottom line–no case studies or theories. I would highly recommend this program.

Becoming a well-rounded, top-notch community banker does not occur by accident. Real life experience is required, along with a combination of hands-on learning and education. GSBC provides the second part of that equation with an excellent faculty and comprehensive curriculum covering financial analysis, lending, management, technology and leadership. This training provides a solid foundation to continue our officers’ career development.

Federal Debt: An Accident Waiting to Happen
The U.S. is facing a federal debt crisis. With current and anticipated federal deficits over the coming years, the amount of outstanding federal debt held by the public is expected to rise sharply. Interest payments on this debt are similarly expected to rise given this higher debt load and the consensus that interest rates will generally rise in the near future.
