Duke MMS Student Blog

Fuqua will prepare you well to launch a successful career.

Due to the rapid pace of the 6-week terms, it is very difficult to get caught up if you let yourself fall too far behind.

Entering the MMS program, I was eager to immerse myself in a multicultural team-based environment and to learn more about the practice of business.

The team-focused structure of the MMS program was ideal because I was joining a new academic team in addition to being welcomed to Duke’s cross country team in the fall.

My advice to anyone looking to join the education industry: do it!

I am grateful that Fuqua allowed me to prove myself and create something meaningful that would benefit our community.

I was sold on “Team Fuqua” from my first day at MMS orientation. What I didn’t realize is that this team mentality would become the most valuable aspect of my time here both personally and professionally.

It’s been just over three years since I graduated from the MMS program and I wanted to reflect on how Fuqua prepared me for the challenges ahead.

I graduated from Fuqua’s MMS program back in 2017 and have been working and living in New York ever since. In those three years after MMS, I have been able to apply the business toolkit that I acquired here at Duke to my product marketing job.
