Duke Weekend Executive MBA Student Blog

As happens in life, you start with a clear picture of what direction you wish to take, and then one slight detour leads to another until you find yourself somewhere you never imagined.

Fuqua's team format has been an incredibly unique experiment for learning, leading, and organizing the workload we face as students.   

The Weekend Executive MBA program has given me the tools and network to identify and leverage opportunities.

I learned more about the corporate world and, more importantly, myself, from my professors and classmates.

Not only do we experience the power of teams as we progress through our classes, but we work in teams to accomplish our extracurricular goals as well.

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.

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.

Let me tell you the best time to answer this question. Hint—it’s not in the middle of Term 2 when you’re having your second breakdown of the week over Managerial Accounting.

As I started to think about an Executive MBA program that would be the best fit for me, I knew I wanted an opportunity for connections with others.

My experience here was absolutely amazing and I would like to share it with you.
