Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

There is so much information available about universities and MBA programs that it can be a bit overwhelming.

After just a few months of working with my team, I’ve learned how to embrace other’s differences to make a strong team.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to do activities that I love while building my leadership skills and creating lifelong friends along the way.

When I reflect on my journey of career transition, I realize that the HSM program at Fuqua has been instrumental in preparing me to take the jump into health care innovation.

My Fuqua journey has been transformative so far—both in and outside the classroom.

Despite initial anxiety, the preparation paid off, and having my wife and dog with me has enhanced my MBA journey.

As co-presidents of the Jewish Business Association (JBA), we are passionate about contributing to Fuqua’s diverse community.

As a Muslim student at Fuqua, I have felt comfortable, supported, and embraced by the inclusive culture of the institution.

The MBA also offered an ability to build practical skills and dive deeper into specific areas of interest.

For anyone who is considering a business degree and feels concerned about their “nontraditional” path, I’d urge you to change your thinking.
