Daytime MBA

Your Duke MBA will provide you with the skills, knowledge, and cross-cultural awareness needed to become a valuable collaborative leader, able to manage effectively in global business environments.

As you compare business schools, one of the first differences you'll notice about The Duke MBA is the breadth and depth of our content and the strength of our faculty.

This breadth, built on our world-class multi-disciplinary faculty, offers what we call our Research Advantage — an unparalleled ability to help you go beyond the basics by exposing you to cutting-edge research and renowned business leaders.

As a Duke MBA student, you will develop collaborative leadership and organizational management skills along with a global outlook. You will then dive into a rigorous exploration of the major functional areas in business.

As you continue through the program, you will have the chance to undertake a wide-ranging general management education designed to suit your individual goals; alternatively, you might choose to focus on a particular career path through a variety of interdisciplinary concentrations and certificate opportunities.
