Testimonials:

"Team Fuqua was one of the main reasons I picked Duke for my MBA. Although I had high expectations, I needed to be here and experience the life in Durham and Fuqua to understand what Team Fuqua really means. It is a collaborative environment that strives for excellence and accountability, a particular mix I haven’t found elsewhere. This is a student run school and it is up to us to take the opportunity to enhance our experience and that of our classmates. I got to be part of LASA and Fuqua on Board, both programs allowed to get involved in the Fuqua Community and the Durham Community. All the above have made me feel at home since the first day I got into town."

"Joining Fuqua has been an incredible experience, a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Fuqua has prepared me for future challenges in the fast paced and competitive world we live in. Having the opportunity to study with students from different countries and cultural backgrounds has given me the opportunity to acquire a global perspective, being an international student myself. Fuqua’s curriculum is focused on teamwork and keeping its students updated with the latest management frameworks. I have met extraordinary people with whom I have developed excellent professional and personal relationships."
