Each year in November, we offer a workshop for members of minority ethnic groups who are interested in management careers in business. The goals of the 21 st annual workshop are to give prospective minority MBA students an overview of national MBA programs, introduce them to the fundamental disciplines of management education and provide an in-depth exploration of career opportunities. Student members of Fuqua s MBA Association, Black MBA Organization, and Asian American Organization serve as hosts for the three-day workshop. Many Fuqua alumni return to share their educational and professional insights with participants. The Ford Minority Workshop event is an annual event by invitation only.
Participation is limited.
The Fuqua School invites 60 attendees by invitation only. The Ford MBA Workshop for Minority Applicants is typically held the first weekend in December. The workshop incorporates both formal and informal interaction with Fuqua students, alumni, faculty, and administrators. Members of the Admissions staff share information on matching prospective students' specific needs and abilities with various MBA programs, and provide insight into the application process. The Director of Financial Aid explains financing options for graduate education.
