Business School Overview
The Duke Fuqua School of Business offers many options to complete an M.B.A., all of which use the same core educational experience. Students can complete a traditional daytime M.B.A., a Global Executive M.B.A., or a Weekend Executive M.B.A., among other programs. Fuqua also offers a unique Cross Continent M.B.A., a 16-month program that can be completed in six locations worldwide, such as London and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Other degree options include a Master of Management Studies (M.M.S.), Executive Education programs, a Ph.D. in Business Administration, and a focused M.B.A. program in Health Sector Management.
There are close to 50 clubs and organizations for business students to get involved in, from the Luxury Brand & Retail Club to the Duke Startup Challenge. The school runs renowned research centers including the Fuqua/Coach K Center of Leadership & Ethics (COLE) and the Global Capital Markets Center. M.B.A. students can also complete joint graduate degrees including a J.D. through the Duke University School of Law, an M.D. through the Duke University School of Medicine, a Master of Public Policy through the Sanford School of Public Policy, an M.S.N. through the Duke University School of Nursing, and Master of Environmental Management or Forestry through the Nicholas School of the Environment.
The school offers limited housing on campus, but students can find housing elsewhere in Durham, N.C. The school reports that companies including Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., Deloitte LLP, and Bank of America Corp. hire the highest number of Fuqua graduates, and some notable alumni include Mark Rosenbaum, chief financial officer of MySpace, and Pamela White, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Victoria’s Secret.
