Two International MBA Options: Cross Continent and Global Executive

China and the surrounding areas have been part of Fuqua’s curriculum for some time. We offer two distinct internationally-delivered MBA programs: the newly redesigned Cross Continent MBA , a dynamic program for young professionals who wish to keep their jobs yet get a top-tier MBA, and the Global Executive MBA , a program designed for senior executives with global responsibilities. Both programs include in-depth academic residencies in China.

Additional International Options

Students in Fuqua’s Daytime and Weekend Executive programs also have international education opportunities. Asian programs are often the most popular of these electives.

• Global Academic Travel Experience (GATE): Students study the business, culture, economy, and politics of a country or region before traveling to the area studied. Students gain exposure to international businesses through visits to multinational corporations, local enterprises, government agencies, exchange program partner schools, alumni and others in the region. Visit the GATE page to learn more. 

Weekend Executive students pose on the steps of the Shanghai Stock Exchange during a recent GATE trip.

• Global Consulting Practicum (Daytime students only): The Global Consulting Practicum (GCP) is an elective course in The Duke MBA—Daytime enabling students to work in small consulting teams with faculty supervision. The students have the opportunity to learn about, visit, and engage with social entrepreneurs and businesses in developing countries. After initial research and preparation, students travel to the field for on-site consultation with their clients. Through this service-learning course, students gain an ability to recognize, critically assess, and contribute effectively to various forms of social enterprise as tools of poverty alleviation, economic development, and social transformation.

• Exchange Programs (Daytime students only): Fuqua maintains exchange relationships with 28 outstanding business schools around the world, including the following schools.
