Testimonials:

"Choosing Fuqua as my Business School was an excellent decision. I knew from the beggining that I wanted to work in Investment Banking and having all major banks recruiting on campus made the job search very accessible. At the same time, coming from Buenos Aires, a city with a population of 10 million, I was looking forward to studying in a small city with a strong academic accent. Durham was great in this sense for my wife and me. Last but not least, the environment among students is what is most unique about the school. Students are able to combine their own personal ambitions and challenges with a strong sense of cooperation and team spirit."
Santiago Stel, Class of 2011 - Argentina

"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."
