Duke MQM Student Blog

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.

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

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.

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

Graduating during the pandemic after completing my master’s degree from my bedroom was certainly not how I pictured my final moments in the MQM program. However, those last few months brought forth a unique learning experience.

Last fall, I had the absolute honor of representing Fuqua and Duke as a finalist in the Adobe Analytics Challenge. I was flown out to Adobe’s headquarters in San Jose, California, to present our big ideas in front of a panel of judges and a live audience.

One popular opportunity is to serve as a student leader of the class in the MQM Association which is an integral part of the program experience
