Transitioning from Art to Business

Before starting business school, Nassim, a second-year MBA candidate at Fuqua, shared her journey of transitioning from studying art history and working in the art world, eventually becoming a gallery director. Recognizing the limitations in her career growth within the art industry, she explored the option of pursuing an MBA to facilitate a career switch. Through extensive research and networking, including connecting with a ballet dancer turned MBA student, Nassim gained confidence to apply to business schools, ultimately getting into Duke's Fuqua School of Business.
