Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

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.

I’m now a first-year MBA student but in the second year of my dual degree program, and I can say, unequivocally, that I made the right decision.

I never imagined that my time at Duke would end with talking about pressing climate issues with the president of a major energy company, a U.S. senator, and the CEO of a climate accelerator all in one week.

Durham is a culturally rich and diverse place, and I'm surprised by the new construction, businesses and restaurants I've seen pop up around the city.

Reflecting back on my recruiting journey so far, I am extremely grateful for the endless support I’ve received and the abundant opportunities Fuqua has given me to pursue my career goals.

Fuqua's energy community equipped me with knowledge and confidence, propelling me to a position of influence that I expected to spend my entire career attempting to reach.

Now that I had established consulting as my clear recruiting direction, I decided to work diligently on three fronts related to the interview process: case interviews, behavioral interviews, and mental preparedness.

When I got my admission to Fuqua, I was not even considering becoming a consultant. To be honest, I did not even know what a consultant does.
