Duke MQM Student Blog

As program director for MQM, I get asked about how the various academic tracks work—what are the differences and similarities and what that means for students. Here’s a breakdown.

From working in commercial finance at one of America’s leading multinational energy companies to getting first-hand experiential and immersive learning from the Strategy track of the MQM program, my decision to join Fuqua has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions I have made.

I was faced with the dilemma of choosing which track would be the best fit for me. As I read about the Forensics track, I was immediately drawn to it, as a good way to apply my interest in data analytics in a growing career field.

Strategy, finance, forensics, or marketing? This was the same question that troubled me as I went through the application process at Fuqua.

I wanted to know exactly how I could evaluate financial data with analytics tools, but I lacked finance knowledge.

A big reason as to why I chose the Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) program was the ability to dive deep into a particular area of business.

Here is a glimpse into the bits and pieces of my everyday life as a Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) student.

The Business Communicatio and Data Visualization classes helped me to spend more time thinking and practicing how to present data analytics results.

My Capstone Project was consulting for the Duke University Baseball team.

Now that we've graduated and most of my MQM classmates and I have entered our permanent vacations from academia, I can honestly say—I miss online classes.
