Be a leader who demonstrates competence, character, and purpose--a thinker and a doer who can maneuver the complexities of interdependent issues. Aspire to possess the technical acumen, personal attributes, and moral compass to both "get along" and "get it right." Because the world needs MBAs who navigate toward a collective good for ALL stakeholders--others, the organization, the community, and the world. If this sounds like the kind of leader you want to be, then The Duke MBA-Daytime is the program for you. 

The Duke MBA-Daytime program offers concentrations in accounting, decision sciences, entrepreneurship and innovation, finance, leadership and ethics, management, marketing, operations management, social entrepreneurship, and strategic consulting. There are also Certificates of Excellence offered in finance and marketing as well as a certificate program in health sector management. Students may pursue joint degrees in public policy, law, environment and earth science, forestry, medicine, nursing, engineering, and computer science.

The fellowship comes in the form of the application fee waiver and fellowship award, which will be between 10-25% of the cost of tuition. However please note that amounts vary by individual and not all fellows receive the full 25% award.

Fellows will participate in a Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows orientation and several workshops and networking sessions during the year. There is a tight knit social network of RPCVs at Fuqua who hold community events throughout the year.

Fellows are expected to undertake an impactful, ongoing service project that addresses problems and needs of Durham's under-served communities. Fellows should expect to volunteer 10-15 hours per month during the academic year. They will submit brief progress reports at the end of each semester. This service project covers the Coverdell Fellows internship requirement only. Fellows must also complete the required MBA internship between the first and second year of the program.

The Duke MBA offers many opportunities for community engagement. CASE (The Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship) maintains relations with numerous local nonprofits and manages Fuqua on Board, an extracurricular service learning program that pairs students with local nonprofit boards of directors.

Additionally, fellows will participate in a Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows orientation and several workshops and networking sessions during the year.
