A Global Perspective

More than a third of The Duke MBA student body is made up of non-US citizens. These students add to the diversity of professional and cultural perspectives that make up Team Fuqua’s vibrant community.

Duke University makes every effort to support our international population and to ensure that The Duke MBA program fosters a multicultural environment. Three departments support the application and matriculation process of these non-US students as well as the student experience while at Duke. The Duke International Office provides visa application and processing support. The Duke International House organizes many workshops to allow international students across the university to network and to facilitate the transition to the Duke and Durham communities.

Within The Fuqua School of Business, the International Center focuses on the international programs on campus and abroad for all Duke MBA Daytime students to increase their global reach. Learn more about the programs supported by the International Center at Fuqua here .

In addition to these resources, international students may also sample American culture and prepare for their Duke MBA experience by attending the Language Institute for Business, Communication and Culture . This two-week program provides students with opportunities to improve their written and spoken English, with an emphasis on business issues, case studies, team work, class participation and other aspects of The Duke MBA culture.

A Diverse Community

At Duke, we strongly believe that you learn the most from people who see things differently than you do. They challenge you to identify and validate the assumptions in your perceptions, and open your eyes to other ways of engaging with the world around you.

To facilitate this learning and growth, we invite students from a myriad of functional, industry and academic backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities, religious beliefs and sexual orientations to join our community. When you step into a Duke MBA classroom, you will be awed by the experiences and perspectives that our students bring with them.

To cultivate our diverse community, The Duke MBA is engaged in a number of recruiting initiatives in addition to the student activities that foster our multi-faceted culture.

A Place for Partners

The majority of our students will be relocating to the Durham area for The Duke MBA program, and many bring with them spouses, partners and families. We realize that such a move has a significant effect on those whom you bring with you. The Fuqua partners network exists to welcome, support and provide activities for partners and families in the Fuqua community. From relocation support to potluck dinners and book clubs, to running Fuqua's largest annual philanthropy event, the MBA Games auction, partners and families are an integral part of the school and the community.
