  • Program format combines unique residential sessions in Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North America with Internet-enabled distance learning, including weekly virtual classroom sessions.
  • Students can live and work anywhere in the world while pursuing The Duke MBA.
  • Global business content is taught on location in major business markets around the world.
  • Option to pursue a concentration in a specific academic area of interest.

Honor Code

All members of The Duke MBA community are governed by the Honor Code of Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. Incoming students undergo Honor Code training and participate in an Honor Code signing ceremony.

Students complete 12 core courses and four elective courses over six terms. Each term includes pre-class reading, residential classes, breaks, and Internet-enabled distance learning.

Two courses focused on the role of global markets and institutions -- and the nuances of leadership, culture and civilization -- will span multiple terms.

Cross Continent students attend approximately eight weeks of residential sessions (one week of orientation, five nine-day sessions, and a two-week session of electives). Five of the six residencies take place outside of the United States, and the final residency is at Duke’s main campus in the United States.

Visit the Fuqua academic calendars for detailed program schedule information.

All Duke MBA programs are taught by Fuqua’s top-ranked faculty, a group of leading scholars who are recognized for excellence in teaching and research.

The Fuqua faculty is committed to student success and provides courses that are relevant and academically challenging. Professors remain accessible and encourage ongoing student interaction, whether meeting with students outside of class or continuing a dialogue electronically.
