Duke MQM Student Blog

Capstone changed the way I approach problem-solving. It reinforced the idea that strong analytics starts with understanding the decision, not just the data.

Joining the MQM program at Fuqua was like opening a mystery box — and inside that box? A new team, a new journey, and a new set of unforgettable experiences.

The Fuqua Quantitative Management Programs Data Competition motivated us to find new applications for machine learning and data analysis in a field that we’re deeply passionate about: sports.

Whether it was a teammate patiently explaining Python syntax for the fourth time or a professor turning complex math into something funny and digestible, I always felt supported.

As I reflect on my capstone experience, I'm grateful for the challenges we faced.

None of us imagined being invited to our client’s headquarters after our capstone project. Yet there we were, marveling at the array of MasterCraft boats.

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.

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

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.
