Fees and Expenses:
in accordance with University regulations, all students become liable for payment of the full tuition fee on registration.
Some UK students (e.g. many Scottish-domiciled undergraduate students) will have their tuition fee paid on their behalf by an awards agency but it is important that such students make a prompt application to the relevant authority for fee support (see below). Please also note that applications for fee support from award agencies must be made every year – awards are not renewed automatically. In most cases, this application process will also allow undergraduate students to apply for a student loan if this is required.
New undergraduate students from England, Wales or Northern Ireland will be liable to a tuition fee of £1,775 per annum. These students may take out a loan to cover this fee, in addition to any student loan they may take out to cover living costs. Students in this position normally apply for support through their Local Authority (LA) or (in Northern Ireland) the Library Board.
Scottish-domiciled undergraduate students who are liable to meet their own fees will be liable to pay £1,255 per annum instead of £1,775, but should apply to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland for the £520 differential to be paid on their behalf.
(Students unsure of their status in terms of tuition fee support can seek advice from several sources – please see the end of this note for details).

http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/mba/degrees.html
Executive Education:
Tuck’s open programs are learning experiences for a more general audience that focus on a broad general-management topic or drill deeply into a specific area or skill set—or both. Yet, similar to our custom engagements, Tuck open programs offer an intimate, intense learning experience and focus on clients’ real-world needs. Your needs.
Never simply a repetition of trendy business thinking, their programs address specific challenges that are part of what’s happening in business today. And they frame them in a fresh, creative way. In fact, Tuck open programs have become the mainstay of executive education for many world-class organizations, both locally and globally.

Business Bridge Program:
Business skills are valuable, no matter what path you take in life. They’re marketable. They make you infinitely more employable. The Bridge Program is a proven path, a fast-track to mastery of business basics. So, even if you’re not considering a career in finance or management, you should consider Bridge.
One of the first things you’ll learn here is how to work successfully within a team. This cooperative mentality comes from classes and assignments that mirror the working world. It comes from recognizing and playing off the strengths of others. It comes from presenting, as a team, to faculty and being evaluated as a group, not just as an individual.
• Bridge is a four-week, total-immersion program for rising juniors, seniors, and recent graduates of arts and sciences colleges
• Bridge sessions take place at the Tuck School of Business on the campus of Dartmouth College

Faculty:
You learn more when your classes are taught by the best. At Tuck, you’ll have access to the best. Behind each name in their faculty directory is a teacher, present in the classroom, calling you by name and challenging you to contribute. Each is also a scholar, actively pursuing academic inquiry. And each maintains strong connections to the corporate world, helping to shape the practice of management worldwide.
An incredible thing about their faculty is their accessibility outside of the classroom. One of the reasons they teach at Tuck is because they want the opportunity to know their students as individuals. Their faculties are an integral part of the Tuck community.
Have a question, an idea, a comment? Talk to your professor after class. During their office hours. Over coffee. At dinner. Tuck gives you significant access to outstanding teachers at the forefront of their fields. All of their full-time faculty teach in the MBA program. Their fields of study exceed the boundaries of a curriculum. And when you want to know more, you’ll have the opportunity.

Master of Management Studies – Duke and SNU:
Duke and SNU now offer this unique degree program that allows students enrolled in SNU’s Global MBA program (GMBA) to undertake a year of study at Duke, during which time they would earn a master’s degree of management studies.
Students who take part in the program will have the opportunity to earn the MMS degree at Duke after completing SNU’s GMBA program. MMS students will focus on a targeted specialization within their coursework at Duke, with the MMS transcript noting the specific concentration. Areas of concentration currently offered by Duke include: accounting, decision sciences, entrepreneurship and innovation, finance (two options), leadership and ethics, management, marketing (two options), operations management, social entrepreneurship, and strategy.
http://www.fuqua.duke.edu/mms/snu/coursework/index.html
PhD Program:
The PhD program places major emphasis on independent inquiry, on the development of competence in research methodology, and on the communication of research results. Students are introduced at the outset of the program not only to rigorous coursework, but also to the research activities of the faculty and of other students.
The PhD program usually requires four to five years of work. The student and the faculty in his/her area determine the specific program of study in accordance with each student’s goals and interests. Each student is required to gain expertise in their area of special interest via coursework or independent study and to take a comprehensive exam in this area, usually during the second year or third year of residence. The final requirement is the presentation of a dissertation. The PhD program currently offers programs of research and training in the areas of accounting, decision sciences, finance, marketing, management, and operations management.

Health Sector Management:
Health care is a rapidly changing and increasingly important part of the world economy. Managers and executives in this field must be equipped to make complex business decisions in a dynamic environment.
Duke’s Health Sector Management (HSM) concentration prepares students to analyze these factors strategically and create successful business solutions—as well as further their own health care careers. Building on the flagship Duke MBA program, their curriculum allows students to take the skills acquired in their MBA courses and immediately begin applying them to the health sector.
The HSM program is available to students in the Daytime MBA program, as well as those in the Weekend Executive and Global Executive programs.

Customized Education:
Business education can be divided into degree granting (e.g., MBA) and non-degree programs. Duke CE does non-degree. Non-degree business education comes in two forms—custom and open-enrollment. Duke CE does custom. That is, their programs are designed, developed and delivered specifically for the needs of one company; all its participants are from that company.
With open enrollment programs, on the other hand, a predefined course is offered at a certain date and one or more people from a company attend along with people from many other companies. Their partner institutions, the Fuqua School of Business, the London School of Economics, and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, offer degree programs as well as open-enrollment programs.
