????Duke's Fuqua School of Business has not one or two but three different executive MBA programs to choose from. There's the typical weekend executive MBA delivered over 19 intense months on Duke's campus in Durham, N.C. After a week-long orientation, classes are held on alternating weekends on Fridays and Saturdays in for the first five terms. Term 6 sessions are held on campus for two weeks and the remainder of the term is completed online.
????Then there's the 16-month Cross Continent MBA that allows students to study in locales across the world, including Dubai, New Delhi, St. Petersburg, Shanghai/Kunshan, and the home campus in Durham. This program also has a distance learning component to it. The program is delivered in short immersive residencies followed by online learning.
????And finally, there's the 15-month Global Executive MBA with five mandatory terms (a sixth term can be taken to explore electives and a concentration). This program is delivered via short, in-person residency sessions in Durham, London, St. Petersburg, Dubai, New Delhi, Shanghai, and Bangkok. Each of these sessions is followed by distance learning periods. This program is designed for older execs than the Cross Continent model. Students who choose this program are at an average age of 38, versus an average age of 30 in the Cross Continent program.
