Duke MQM Student Blog

The MQM Class of 2025 faced a more difficult and competitive environment, with employers remaining cautious.

MQM gave me the space to struggle, learn, and improve without feeling like I was falling behind.

I came into the MQM program with two goals: 1) work in marketing and 2) work for a startup.

I knew the job market would be competitive, so instead of trying to master everything, I focused on building one strength that could help me stand out.

The latest employment report showcases not only gains in salaries and the strength of Fuqua’s alumni network but also the value that employers continue to see in MQM graduates.

Fuqua was the ideal choice because I developed both business knowledge and analytics expertise in the program.

When I transitioned to Duke to pursue my master’s degree at Fuqua, I was unsure how to stay connected to the sport that had been such a significant part of my life.

The opportunity to attend a NASCAR race confirmed my passion and career ambitions, and as I embark on my career search, I feel confident that motorsports is where I belong.

The Business, Communication, and Culture (BCC) program was designed to take the guesswork out of the adjustment period and equip our students with the confidence they need for a strong start.
