Duke Global Executive MBA Application Essays and Tips
The current Duke MBAGlobal Executive Program essay questions cover broad ground potentially, although there are just two required. They give you leeway to identify and describe the experiences, skills, and other factors that will most advantageously represent your candidacy. Moreover, the fact that both questions invite you to discuss personal as well as professional points indicates the program’s holistic perspective and its interest in well-rounded applicants.
These EMBA essay questions thus present a great opportunity for you to distinguish yourself. However, such openness also poses the challenge of effective decision-making – choosing the optimal topics and experiences to discuss carries all the more weight and is not necessarily easy. It requires you view your candidacy strategically.
This program is designed for students who are senior managers and decision makers and also “standouts” in their organizations ready to step into executive roles. Your essays should reflect those qualities.
Note specs: each essay is to use 1.5 line spacing and a font size of 10 or larger; maximum 2 pages each.

We find that our students apply to our programs for a variety of personal and professional reasons. What do you hope
Florida colleges ban smoking, even in your car
If you smoke, you may be breathing less easily on college campuses these days.
Looking for the designated smoking area at Florida International University? There is none.
Want to light a cigarette inside your car at the University of Florida? Don’t let the cops see you.
Hoping to smoke during your break at Nova Southeastern University? You have six months left until NSU becomes the latest college to go tobacco-free. Come July 1, the covered smoking benches will come down and smoke-free-campus signs will go up.
“Although we’d like people to quit, we’re not saying you have to. You just can’t smoke here,” said Tom Vitucci, NSU’s director of campus recreation and leader of the smoke-free effort.
College campuses are becoming less tolerant of smokers, replacing tobacco restrictions with outright bans, even while in your car. Violators face discipline ranging from warnings to expulsion or termination in extreme cases. Most will just be told to extingish their cigarettes, Nova officials said.
