Duke MMS Student Blog

Being part of the MMS: Duke Kunshan University (MMS: DKU) program at Fuqua has been a life-changing experience.

As students, it’s easy to let our responsibilities overshadow the simple, meaningful moments in life. My time at Fuqua so far has shown me that it is possible to achieve professional goals while having fun.

While Fuqua's Durham campus and DKU offer different experiences, one commonality is the emphasis on connecting with my classmates.

As I took classes at Fuqua, I realized there were so many areas of business I had never considered going into.

As a result of the pandemic, MMS: DKU graduates of the Class of 2022 navigated virtual courses and the uncertainty of global conditions, but also experienced record-breaking job success.

When I went back to Kunshan and started my spring semester at DKU, it felt familiar and strange at the same time.

I chose Fuqua’s Master of Management Studies: Duke Kunshan University program for its team-emphasis culture.

Similar to a lot of other students, when I arrived at Fuqua I wasn’t sure what industry I wanted to pursue a career in yet.

As I researched various schools, Fuqua’s opportunity clearly differentiated it from other management programs. The core benefit of this program is that it goes beyond solely academic coursework to develop practical, technical, and communication skills.

Completing your MMS application can be a daunting task—but luckily, this blog is a great place to come for help.
