Beginning in March, you attend classes all day Friday until 5:30 pm and Saturday until 3pm on Duke’s campus on alternating weekends. Friday night stays are included in the tuition and are considered part of the weekend residency. The program consists of three required classes during each of the first four terms and six short elective courses in the fifth term.

The Duke MBA �Weekend Executive offers an optional concentration in Health Sector Management for students seeking to enhance their degree with specialized training in the business of health care.

Weekend Executive students receive both software tools and support. The distributed learning environment allows students to access online course materials, collaborate on team assignments, extend classroom discussions electronically, access library resources and communicate with faculty, staff and fellow students from their home or other remote locations.

Weekend Executive students have the opportunity to enhance their academic learning by participating in an elective International Management Study course. In this course, you gain hands-on experience as you travel to different countries to visit businesses, meet corporate executives and examine country-specific issues such as anti-trust and financial markets.

Success in today’s marketplace requires keen analytical skills, broad cultural sensitivity and clear strategic vision.
Effective leaders must meet the ongoing challenges of effective teamwork, mutually respectful communication and creative yet realistic decision analysis. The value of an executive MBA degree can be measured by how well it prepares you to adapt modes of thinking and business fundamentals to a continuously changing environment.
