Duke Weekend Executive MBA Student Blog

When it comes to going back to school, the monster of imperfect timing rears its head and then offers many excuses.

It wasn’t until I came to Fuqua, that I understood there was one more stage we should be striving to achieve, one of interdependence.

I was in the middle of the Weekend Executive MBA program and realized that walking into first-term courses like financial accounting reminded me of the uncertainty at the starting line of a race.

The greatest strength of the Weekend Executive MBA program is what you can gain from really getting to know your classmates. Here’s how I recommend tapping into the power of that network.

We brainstormed ideas on how we could have an event to tell the African story and what it takes to do business on the continent.

Stepping foot onto the Duke campus for the first time is awe-inspiring. Even though we’re only there for the weekends, visiting such a beautiful and historic campus still leaves an impression on you.

I had the opportunity to be surrounded by people who had incredible minds while advancing my education.

Fraternities and sororities are a great way for undergraduate students to enter new social circles and establish lifelong networks.

I sought out Fuqua’s Weekend Executive MBA program because it was the best fit for where I currently am in my career. 

As I near the twilight of my time at Fuqua, I can attest to the life-changing experience that only the Weekend Executive MBA learning journey can provide.
