Duke MSQM Student Blog

A graduate degree can be the key to unlocking a world of opportunities.

I see the MSQM: BA program as a testament to the values of diversity and individuality because it provides students like me with the education and support we need to thrive in our academic and professional pursuits while staying true to our unique identities.

Fuqua provided the perfect environment for my inner explorer to thrive.

I don’t think I would have developed my current skillset if it weren’t for the MSQM program, and I definitely would not be receiving the same professional opportunities.

Analytics can be a game changer for almost any business or organization, but it can be a long, daunting journey before the benefits are realized.

While in the MSQM program, I faced one of the greatest challenges I have ever faced: Hurricane Ian, a massive, Category 4 hurricane struck my community.

Recognizing that business was becoming more and more data-driven, I sought out a master’s program that would help me improve my data analytics skills.

Reaching a turning point in my career, I had to decide between upgrading my programming and data analytics skills or falling behind in an industry that is becoming increasingly data-driven.

Today, I am a senior financial analyst for the same health care organization I treated patients with not too long ago.

No matter what program you are in, residential or virtual, you are at the very core of Team Fuqua.
