Reason you chose the MMA program: As a first-generation college student, I’ve always valued opportunities that help me grow both personally and professionally. After completing my MBA at App State in 2024, I realized I wanted to strengthen my data literacy and analytical skills. The MMA program at NC State’s Poole College was the perfect fit, blending my interests in marketing, management, and consumer behavior with the skills I wanted in data analytics and business programming. Beyond the curriculum, the support and encouragement I’ve received from faculty, staff, and fellow students has kept me engaged through certificates and extracurricular activities. I highly recommend the MMA program because of its exceptional faculty, warm and welcoming staff, and engaging community.
