Duke Global Executive MBA Student Blog

Choosing to apply to an Executive MBA program may feel like a daunting task and a challenge to fit into your already busy schedule.

My employer is allowing me the time and space to leave work for travel as part of the Global Executive MBA program, and it is taking on part of the cost.

Our residencies include class time, teamwork time, and excursions to different parts of the city—so the days are fun but jam-packed.

You’ve done your research – attended information sessions, connected with Fuqua’s admissions team, and perhaps even some students and alumni. Now you can experience life as a student.

Applying what I learned in the program, in real-time in my professional role at IBM, paid huge dividends for me and my career.

As a member of Fuqua's Executive MBA interview team, I want to help you put your best foot forward in your admissions interview and assure you that it doesn't have to be intimidating!

Did you know there’s a chance your company might help pay for your MBA?

With the help of Fuqua, I was able to find my dream job, pivot into a role I never would have applied to in the first place, and work at a company I am passionate about.

Everyone can remember the time when his or her life made a U-turn. Mine was when I enrolled at Duke.

This is the story of how I changed my career trajectory from oil and gas operations to technology product management.
