Experience Team Fuqua for yourself. You’ll  jumpstart your studies with a 2.5-day on-campus launch experience to immerse yourself with your cohort, collaborate with your learning team, and meet the program team that will support you through your experience. Then you’re fully online, continuing to work closely with your team during weekly live virtual sessions, team projects, and self-paced modules—all tailored to build on the connections you’ve already formed.

Fuqua’s difference comes from our innovative cohort learning model where the collective strengths of Team Fuqua drive excellence and innovation.

You’ll be assigned to a peer team of four to six professionals who bring expertise from diverse functions and industries. You'll navigate your program as a team, calling on each other's strengths to achieve shared goals, gain fresh insights, and master essential teamwork skills. With our collaborative and high-touch approach, you are online, but you are never alone.
