Duke University, The Fuqua School of Business
Durham, North Carolina
Duke University's Fuqua School of Business welcomes applicants with demonstrated academic excellence, personal and professional accomplishments, proven leadership ability, and strong professional skills. The school also places a high value on candidates with diverse backgrounds and broader perspectives.
The Duke MBA Program holds three admissions application rounds from November through March. Given the competitive applicant pool, students are encouraged to apply as early in the admission cycle as possible. Each candidate is required to submit an online application form, resume, essay, official GMAT score, and TOEFL or IELTS score (if applicable), transcript, two recommendations, and an application fee.
The school strongly recommends that prospective students have a personal interview with one of the alumni or admissions fellows (second-year students selected to serve on the admissions committee). Candidates are encouraged to come to campus for an interview, but offer applicants living on the west coast of the U.S. or internationally the option to request an interview with a local alumnus. All interviews are evaluated equally regardless of location of interviewer.
Merit-based scholarships and loans
Each year, a limited number of merit-based scholarships are available to all incoming students regardless of their citizenship. These awards are for the two-year duration of the program and range from partial to full tuition. It is important to apply in the first two rounds of admission to ensure consideration for available funds.
In addition to merit-based assistance, incoming students are eligible to apply for a combination of federal and alternative student loans to meet the cost of tuition, fees, books, and related living expenses. Of the many alternative loan programs available, The Duke MBA Opportunity Loan is a unique program for international students that enables them to borrow up to the cost of attendance without a U.S. loan cosigner.

Why did I choose Duke?
"My family's Portugese, and I was the first person in my family to speak English. So when I looked into Duke, I was really impressed by its incredible diversity. There are so many countries and cultures represented here, and yet we all treat one another like family. That really resonated with me." - Elizabeth Faria '08, Boston, Massachusetts
