Duke MQM Student Blog

It feels like only yesterday that I stepped into the world of Duke's MQM program, yet it’s astounding how much I have grown since then.

Within the MQM program, students have the chance to work on their leadership skills in a variety of ways, both through formal and informal leadership opportunities.

DISI is an organization, open to all graduate students across the professional schools at Duke, that provides pro bono consulting services to non-profits in Durham and nearby communities.

As a student at Fuqua, I wanted to do something more for my classmates, something that would help bring us closer together and create long-lasting memories for everyone.

With only 10 months in the MQM program, you quickly learn to make every moment count.

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.

Looking back, I gained a lot, not only from the program but from the entire experience of studying in a business school in a different country.

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.
