Situated on a tropical campus in the Mediterranean-style city of Coral Gables, the University of Miami School of Business Administration has been described as the "Ivy League School of the South." Located at the gateway to Latin America, the school provides educational opportunities in a global community. The professors understand Hispanic culture and business by publishing in top-tier journals and working as consultants to Fortune 500 companies. Upon graduation, students become part of the sixth largest alumni network in the country. Organizations include the Hispanic Heritage Month Association, Latin American Student Association, and Federacion de Estudiantes Cubanos. The school recently built a $23 million facility complete with computer access at every seat, and a "paperless library."

The school reaches out to Hispanic students early through programs such as LEAD, in which high school juniors and seniors attend a summer program to develop business plans. The Duke MBA Workshop for Minority Applicants is held each fall to give prospective students an overview of national MBA programs from the admission process to the career and job search. The Black and Latino MBA Organization partners with the admissions office to serve as host for the three-day workshop. The diversity pipeline continues with programs such as the Riordan Fellows, Management Leadership for Tomorrow, and the MBA Diversity Alliance. The Duke MBA experience does not end with graduation: Many alumni are actively engaged in the recruitment of minority students.
