I'll be getting my bachelors degree in marketing in May and I'm looking to get a Masters degree but not too sure I want to get an MBA. I'd like to get a Masters in something other than business to keep more options open but I'm not sure what my options are. Anyone know what other programs (if there are any besides an MBA) that I could get into with my degree?

I suggest going out into the work place and working for 2-3 years before diving into your Masters. In fact, most programs recommend that. If you don't have experience but you do have a masters, you won't be TOO much more of an asset. So get some work experience and figure out waht you like to do. I'm getting my Masters in Marketing, which is exciting.

it's better to decide first and then get the appropriate masters. an MBA is always a good bet (and the logical extension of a marketing BA) but only if you want to pursue a career in the world of business. if you want to teach, then it would be different.

A master's degree majoring in marketing and corporate communications, advertising or events management. =)

Virtually anything - even applied math. Many (probably even most) masters are designed as conversion degrees to give you professional quals in an area you did not necessarily study as an undergrad. Whether to get a Masters after you have completed your undergrad or get a bit of work experience first is a personnel choice - I don't think there is any right or wrong answer. Personally what I would do is get a masters immediately after my degree to ready me for the job market then get an MBA later. But a case can be made to get an MBA directly after you degree as well - especially for technical degrees like engineering and CS to give you some business background. But that could just as easily be done by an Msc in business. The choice may be taken out of your hands however - some masters require job experience. Thanks Bill
