My Experience at Fuqua

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

This review is for Duke Fuqua

Program Full Time MBA

Class of 2015

Experience during the program

Overall, my experience at Fuqua was amazing. I certainly felt that it met expectations in regards to my career objectives and student support. What stood out to me most about my experience was the culture at Fuqua. The students genuinely care about helping you, and I really felt that the "collaborative/Team Fuqua" culture was real.

One of my primary criticisms is that the CMC needs to add more support in the consulting space considering the number of students that pursue this field. The person in charge is amazing, but unfortunately, there is only one of her and so many of us.

About professors, classes and curriculum

Overall, I felt that the curriculum was valuable, especially the finance/accounting classes, considering I did not have a business background prior to b-school. However, I felt that the marketing courses were subpar and became redundant after the first one or two classes.

About job placement process

Overall, I was very satisfied with the opportunities that I was presented at Fuqua. Majority of my classmates were able to land jobs from the companies of their choice.
