The Duke MBA Global Executive

Working professionals from around the globe come together to earn a world-class MBA in this 18-month program. Students will grow beyond their comfort zone through international residencies that emphasize how culture and institutions shape business in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and North America. A unique team approach ensures that students learn from their classmates, high-potential peers working in different markets with expertise in different functions. Intensive residencies provide the immersive rigor of a traditional MBA program while reducing their time away from work and family. Distance periods provide students the flexibility to complete assignments around their schedule. Class convenes first in Durham, North Carolina, over a 2-week orientation session in late July. Then the classroom starts to move—through Asia, Latin America, and Europe, where students will gather for 1-week residencies in October, January, April, and June, with each residency preceded and followed by distance learning periods. At the end of September of the second year, students will return to Duke for a final 2-week residency.
