Program Summary

The Master of Management Studies programs are pre-experience master’s degree programs intended to help students obtain core technical business skills and subject matter knowledge that is incremental to their undergraduate degree. Students with a master’s degree or PhD in a nonbusiness field who do not have work experience are also strong candidates for the Fuqua MMS Program.

The curriculum for the Fuqua MMS Program involves fifteen required courses.

Duke Kunshan University MMS students will spend part of the year in Durham and part of the year in Kunshan, China. Courses in the Duke Kunshan University MMS Program may be taught in different formats, ranging from the same six-week format that is typical for FOB courses to more intensive two-week courses.

There are no elective courses. There are no course exemptions. Course substitutions are not permitted, and students progress through the program as a single cohort. This structure reflects the importance of the following issues: (1) the need to ensure the appropriate balance between the breadth and depth required to successfully prepare for an entry-level position; (2) the need to ensure that students have uniform quality with respect to depth of exposure to concepts and frameworks in a given area; and (3) the value of intact cohorts which will allow us to enhance teaming skills in repeated contexts.
