Hey everyone,
I could really use some help with this decision because I’ve been going back and forth, and I still don’t know what to do.
I'm a NC native and recently got accepted into:
Duke’s MQM: Business Analytics (Marketing track) – 10-month, in-person
NC State’s Master of Marketing Analytics (MMA) – 2-year, fully online with study abroad options
I’m interested in marketing and business analytics, something that blends data with strategy and storytelling. Not trying to become a data scientist just yet, but I want strong, versatile skills that will help me land a solid remote or hybrid job in marketing analytics, consulting, or something similar.
The biggest issue for me is the cost.
Duke: Total is $85,600 before living expenses (which I know will add a lot more).
NC State: Total is $42,974. Fully online, so I can work while studying and avoid relocation costs.
I keep asking myself: is the Duke name and network really worth over $40K more? I know the program is elite and comes with some strong career connections, but that’s a lot of money. I'm nervous about taking on that kind of debt. On the other hand, I worry that if I go with the cheaper option, I might be closing doors later on.
I just want to make the smartest long-term choice, but right now it feels like a gamble either way.
Appreciate any advice or experience you can share

Hey! Congrats on the admits.
These are two different animals so you can't really compare them purely on dollars (though I know that is the part that will play out the most).
I thin in part you are not only paying for the Fuqua name, you are paying for the in-person experience (and paying for it with both tuition and opportunity cost).
I would say if you have a job in mind or lined up where you want to after NC, then go for the NC.
However, if you are wanting to recruit and have the best shot at your career, then perhaps Fuqua is the better option.

I would also be a bit cautious with masters programs in case you’re switching industries and your previous work experience is really off compared to what you want to do...
Though a recent hack I learned about was potentially quitting your job in the second year and taking an internship, if you can find one.
