For years I struggled in math, yet the M2 professors spent extra time working through concepts with me, and I developed a sincere interest in finance, accounting and economics, and even fared well in coding and data analytics. As a result of this shift, I am beginning my career in financial planning and analysis consulting. The M2 program allowed me, a student who had not performed high level math since high school, to break into a career that incorporates corporate finance, accounting, and data analytics.
