To lead in a global economy, you must be able to not only identify and interpret, but also reconcile the various drivers shaping today's complex business environment. To drive this level of global business awareness and analysis, The Duke MBA—Global Executive program brings together senior executives, with all their diverse backgrounds and experiences, for a rigorous business management education that integrates learning experiences across economies. You will learn about the social, economic, political, historical, and cultural issues that influence business around the world so you can, in turn, effectively lead and manage a global operation.

All applications are evaluated holistically, based on multiple criteria. Outlined below are the ways in which we utilize the components of your application to make an admission decision. Admissions Counselor Anna Fernandez is available to provide additional insight on your candidacy for the program. Contact her at 1.919.660.7705 or global-mba-info@fuqua.duke.edu.

Fit, Passion, and Impact

Your application essays, recommendations, and interview are what weave fit, passion, and impact together into your "story."  

  • Recommenders provide an unbiased third-party perspective on the impact that you have made personally and professionally. Application Tip: Prepare your recommenders so that they represent you well and highlight aspects of your candidacy that are not reflected in other areas of the application.

  • Your essays allow us to get to know you as a person—what drives you and inspires you. You have the opportunity here to fill in any gaps or provide additional details on key areas of your application. Application Tip: Be yourself—we want to get to know you!

  • Your interview allows you to demonstrate your interpersonal skills—a critical component of your success in the program. It will also provide additional insight into who you are, and give you the opportunity to demonstrate "fit" with our program and the Fuqua culture and community. Application Tip: The self-reflection and research that you have done on Fuqua and the Global Executive MBA program will be exactly the preparation you need to do well in an interview.

Academic Aptitude

We do not require or give preference to any particular undergraduate major. Students come from a wide range of academic backgrounds. No GMAT is required for this program.

Professional Experience

This program requires a minimum of 10 years post-undergraduate work experience with a strong leadership/management component and current or pending global work responsibilities. You should use the application to articulate how your international experience will contribute to the learning environment at Fuqua and show how your management experience has helped you develop leadership and teamwork skills, as well as maturity, on professional and personal levels.

English Proficiency

International students bring diverse perspectives that are highly valued in the classroom, but only if each student's English skills are sufficiently strong to allow them to actively participate in class and group discussions. We require one of three English proficiency tests (TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE) and further evaluate non-native speakers' English skills during the interview. (Language Proficiency Waiver Policy: A language proficiency test waiver may be requested by candidates who provide written documentation of earning a non-technical degree from an English speaking institution, or who have significant English speaking work experience. Send your request and supporting information to application-processing@fuqua.duke.edu.)

Credential Verification

To deter fraudulent applications and to preserve the integrity of our learning community, Fuqua has retained Re Vera Services, LLC to verify the information included in applications. If you are admitted and submit your tuition deposit, you will be provided with instructions on the verification process, which could take a few weeks to process. Any omission, falsification or misrepresentation in your application is grounds for automatic revocation of all offers of admission and financial assistance, or expulsion from the Global Executive MBA program. (Note: You are responsible for the nominal fee for this service.)
