Residential Classroom Session
A key advantage of The Duke MBA – Global Executive program is that you pursue a rigorous academic curriculum in a global setting. The residential classroom sessions within Terms 1 and 5 take place on the Duke campus, while the other three sessions take place in Europe, Asia and Latin America. What makes the Global Executive so unique is that international residencies are selected each year to represent the most dynamic places for international business. Residencies outside the United States generally last two weeks, with each week being spent in a different city. Traveling to various countries throughout the program provides an opportunity to contrast business practices in emerging and developed markets, to witness the impact of globalization and to observe cultural differences within regions around the world. These residential settings allow intense face-to-face interaction between the Fuqua faculty and Global Executive students. You are in class for a minimum of six hours per day and all residential sessions are mandatory.
Globally Focused Curriculum/Bringing the World into the Classroom
The Global Executive program effectively incorporates "local" content into its curriculum. During the Global Executive’s residential learning sessions, you regularly meet with top business, academic and civic leaders at plant tours and guest speaker lectures. You gain unique, firsthand insight and knowledge of the issues and challenges of each region while studying in that part of the world.
