Duke University is introducing an ambitious new model for its global MBA program, according to Business Week. The new model will have students moving between campuses in Shanghai, Dubai, London, St. Petersburg in Russia, Johannesburg, and New Delhi in a fairly radical reworking of the global MBA concept.

The program is described more fully in a statement released by Duke.

"With the simultaneous launch of our new international locations, Fuqua will be the first truly global business school, shaped and driven by the fundamental issues of our time," said Blair Sheppard, dean of Duke's Fuqua School of Business. "The depth of our activities in each location ensures we will become truly embedded in each region. By engaging with these regions through education and research, we will be able to examine the world's opportunities and problems, explore interdependencies between regions, create solutions to address world issues, and prepare practitioners to be change agents and informed leaders."
