A Duke MBA will provide graduates with the skills, knowledge, and cross-cultural awareness needed to become a valuable collaborative leader, able to manage effectively in global business environments.

One of the differences about The Duke MBA is the breadth and depth of our content and the strength of their faculty. This breadth, built on our world-class multi-disciplinary faculty, offers what Duke calls their  Research Advantage - an unparalleled ability to go beyond the basics by exposing students to cutting-edge research and renowned business leaders. Duke MBA students will develop collaborative leadership and organizational management skills along with a global outlook during the first term's Global Institute. As students continue through the program, they will have the chance to undertake a wide-ranging general management education designed to suit their individual goals; alternatively, students might choose to focus on a particular career path through a variety of interdisciplinary concentrations and certificate opportunities.
