It’s time again for Clear Admit’s weekly Trivia Tuesday column! Today, we’re taking a look into the Clear Admit School Guide to Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business in order to share with you some insights about the school’s globally oriented GATE program.
For those who are interested in gaining international exposure but who are unwilling or unable to spend a full term abroad, Fuqua’s Global Academic Travel Experience, or GATE, offers a strong alternative. Through GATE, participating students examine the business environment, politics, economics and culture of a particular country or region for six weeks, following this study with a 12- to 14-day trip to the region. During these trips, students visit local businesses, government agencies, and any alumni or exchange partner schools in the area.
The GATE course is organized by a faculty member with assistance from two student leaders. During the six weeks leading up to the trip, students may be asked to complete relevant company research projects or case studies and to share their results with other students in the class. While abroad, students are required to participate in at least eight field visits, and a paper or case write-up on one or more of these visits is due upon return to Fuqua. Frequent optional cultural visits are also offered.
To read more about Fuqua’s many opportunities for international study, be sure to check out the Clear Admit School Guide to Fuqua. All 21 Clear Admit School Guides are available for immediate purchase and download on the Clear Admit shop.
