Duke’s Fuqua School of Business Launches New One-Year Management Program in China, U.S.
The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University last week announced the launch of a new one-year master’s degree program in management, which will feature three terms of study on Duke’s North Carolina campus and two terms at the new Duke Kunshan University (DKU), near Shanghai.
Duke recently received final approval from China’s Ministry of Education to establish DKU, a joint venture between Duke, Wuhan University and the city of Kunshan. The new campus, which is scheduled to open in July 2014, will offer a master’s degree program in global health (through the Duke Global Health Institute) and a proposed degree in medical physics, as well as the new year-long master of management studies (MMS: DKU) degree.

Kellogg School of Management Adds Video Essay, Alters Admissions Deadlines
Earlier this week, the Kellogg School of Management said that it will begin requiring a video essay as part of its 2013/2014 MBA application. The school will also revert to a one-part application, with a single set of deadlines, rather than the two-part process it has used in recent years. These and other changes were first reported Monday by PoetsandQuants.
As part of the new video essay, students will be directed from the application to a landing page on a Skype-like platform where they will be asked a short question, according to a subsequent report in Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Applicants will have one to two minutes to collect their thoughts and one to two minutes to record an answer. They can replay their answer and start over up to two times is they are dissatisfied, receiving a new question on each subsequent try.
