Duke’s MEM Program does not have a minimum requirement for GRE scores or GPA. View our current class profiles. Admission depends on the strength of the applicant pool within any given year. 

If a student has concerns, consider the following:

• Applicants with low test scores often retake the GRE or TOEFL a second time with the hopes of improving their scores and increasing their chances of being admitted.
• Undergraduates with low GPAs can work to increase their grades in their remaining semesters, and those who have graduated sometimes consider enrolling in another Master’s program; doing well in other graduate work can show improvement in grades and that an applicant is adequately prepared for graduate study.

• The MEM campus and distance programs offer fall and spring admission, both of which have multiple rounds for application.
• International students are required to apply in the earlier Rounds to allow for the visa process.

This model to helps us with the flow of applications and to provide students with a more timely response; no Round or term is easier or more difficult than another.

The Case-Study method supplements standard classroom instruction in Duke’s MEM Program’s business courses. The program uses this method because it places students in a complex, real-world situation where they use their knowledge, understanding, and analytical skills to decide on a course of action. Case studies are an excellent method for students to apply concepts that are being taught. Students benefit from case-study learning through individual analysis of the case and through group discussion of the case.

Duke MEM Online students receive the same degree as students in the campus program. Transcripts and diplomas do not indicate the method by which the degree was earned.
