The Fuqua School of Business is the business school of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Consistently ranked as one of the world's top MBA programs, Fuqua (pronounced few-qua) is the youngest of the top-tier U.S. business schools.
It currently enrolls 1,340 students in degree-seeking programs. These programs include the Daytime MBA, the Global Executive MBA, the Cross Continent MBA, the Weekend Executive MBA, and a Ph.D. program. Duke Executive Education and Duke Corporate Education offer non-degree business education and professional development programs which are ranked number one in the world by the Financial Times. Duke's Fuqua School of Business had humble beginnings. Formed in 1969, the graduate school enrolled its first class of 20 students in 1970. In 1974, Thomas F. Keller, a 1953 Duke graduate, became the graduate school's new dean. This served as a turning point in the school's history. Keller quickly improved the school's fortune. He embarked upon a capital campaign in 1978 with the goal of raising $20 million to erect a buildling, increase the number of M.B.A. students from sixty to 250, and more than double the size of the faculty. In three years, the campaign raised $24 million, $10 million of which came from businessman and philanthrophist J.B. Fuqua. The graduate school's name was then changed to the Fuqua School of Business. |
