The Duke Goethe Executive MBA program requires significant support from the sponsoring organization. Participation in the Duke Goethe Executive MBA program demonstrates a company's commitment to maintaining a professional, knowledgeable staff.
Sponsoring organizations may support a Duke Goethe Executive MBA student in two ways:

Financial Support
Sponsoring companies may choose to fully or partially fund the Duke Goethe Executive MBA participants. The financial support could include the tuition cost and/or paid or partially paid leave to attend the sessions.

Time
Sponsoring organizations must grant their employees the necessary time away from the office to attend classes. In addition, companies need to accommodate students' shifting time commitments and help them delegate more broadly in order to balance work, family and academic needs.

Students earn two Executive Masters of Business Administration (MBA), one from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and the other from Frankfurt University's Goethe Business School.

Tuition fee for the entire program is 56,000 euros. It includes all fees, books & classroom materials, software and technical support. It covers lodging and meals while at Fuqua and during the immersion programs, travel to Durham after the immersion program, as well as lunches while at Frankfurt.

Costs do not include travel expenses, a laptop computer, internet service provider, accommodation in Frankfurt, and lodging and meals during graduation ceremonies.

In its relatively short history, The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina has established itself as one of the leading business schools in the world.

Fuqua is one of the top U.S. business schools. We enrolled our first class (12 strong!) in 1970. Today, the annual enrollment in our degree programs is approximately 1,340. More than 1,000 managers and executives of leading firms worldwide attend our non-degree Executive Education programs each year.

The Fuqua School of Business has established itself as a leading educator and supplier of future business leaders at all levels around the globe. We've earned this leadership position with the help of our corporate partners who derive value from their relationships with Fuqua. We provide our students with the corporate partnernerships for recruitment, collaboration with our faculty in areas of research and customized corporate education, partnership to enrich the MBA experience.

To remain true to our mission and produce global leaders of consequence, we must rethink traditional geographic and intellectual boundaries. The world we now live in is multi-centric, globally interdependent, and dynamic — yet challenging. Standard frameworks and assumptions may be slow to adapt, but they must.  In order to play our part in addressing tomorrow's business challenges, we've announced plans to become the world's first legitimately global business school, based in the economic and cultural hubs of world regions.
