The economy is forcing many business schools to scale back and re-evaluate their strategic plans. Fortunately, for those of you who plan to attend Duke, Dean Sheppard has communicated his commitment to maintaining a strong, high quality program. The school will continue to expand beyond U.S. borders with its international offerings and it has pledged to maintain the high quality education for which it is known. Duke is also focused on helping its MBA students secure internships and jobs in this tough economy. I hope that helps those of you who are considering Duke’s Fuqua School of Business.
