Should I pursue Masters in Marketing or Masters in Marketing Research

Should I pursue Masters in Marketing or Masters in Marketing Research?
Hey, all. I need some advice and opinion on postgraduate studies. Currently I am an undergrad marketing major student and marketing research particularly fascinates me. From September this year, I will be starting part-time work with AC Nielsen. I intend to do Masters starting in spring or summer semester of 2010. However I cannot decide whether I should pursue a Masters in Marketing or a Masters in Marketing Research program. After completing the degree in USA, I will be settling down with my family in Australia and hence will need to find employment there. I am keen on working in the marketing research industry for 4 to 5 years to gain valuable experience before entering into a MBA program. In your opinion, should I pursue a Masters in Marketing, or specialize with Masters in Marketing Research (since it is the industry I am keen to work in)? Any advice from you in this regard will be really appreciated. Thanks for your time!

masters degree in business marketing

masters degree in business marketing??
i'm thinking of doing my masters in marketing right after my degree. i understand that most people get a couple of years of work experience first before they do their masters. so if i were to go find a job with my masters degree , will i be stuck in a situation where i am overqualified for undergrad jobs.. yet not good enough to take up a position that requires a masters degree because of my lack of work experience? well, its not wharton but its one of the best business school in australia... Melbourne University..so.. the ranking part is ok i guess..

Yes, you would. Getting an MBA from an unranked school won't help your job prospects nearly as much as getting one from a ranked school. And the ranked schools want you to have three to five years of work experience. If you are good enough to get into a top school -- you would be much better off waiting and getting an MBA from a top school.

What are the best online universities that offer masters degrees

What are the best online universities that offer masters degrees?
I would like to get an online masters degree in marketing. What are the best online universities? Are there any reputable conventional Universities that offer full degrees online? Harvard offers online courses, some of which could be counted towards a masters degree, but does not offer a full degree online. I am not a residence of the US and not able to travel to attend regular courses but I am able to travel for tests. I guess I'm looking for a good marketing masters program from a reputable university.

There are a lot of universities and colleges that offer accreditated online schools. It's very important to verify the institution has the correct accreditation you're looking for. Personally, I think some of the best online schools have both brick and mortar degrees and online degrees. For example, I work the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. We have approximately 7,000 students on our campus, but we also offer three online graduate degrees: criminal justice, project management, and engineering. Peterson's is a very trusted resource that will list many schools that are well accreditated in the online area.

As there are many online universities that offers masters degrees but it is important that the university that you are selecting should be accredited regionally or nationally. Because some employers gives preferences to accredited online universities. Following is a list of top ranked accredited online universities that offers master degrees in Marketing and Business. University of Phoenix Brown College American Inter Continental University Online Colorado Technical University Hesser College

I am not aware of a top school that offers an online masters degree specifically in marketing. However, you may be able to get a degree in a closely related field depending on what area of marketing you want to pursue. So this answer is going to be geared toward universities with an excellent reputation. Harvard's Extension School has some programs that only require that you take a single class in person. If you plan your course work carefully, you can take a summer session class and only have to be in Cambridge for 8 weeks. So the amount of time you'd need to be in the US would be minimal. If you can travel for tests, this might work out for you. Also, Harvard's Extension School seems to have some of the lowest tuition of any reputable online school, so you might actually come out ahead financially over some of the other options. Generally you should expect to spend about $18,000 to $20,000 on tuition. Here is some information about the Harvard Extension School experience: http://www.productivity501.com/harvard-masters-degree/6463/ Another place you might look is Penn State. Many of their programs require some type of residency. The MBA program requires you to come for two week long classes. Still, if you can travel for tests, this is probably doable. The cost will probably be in the $20,000 to $60,000 range depending on what classes you take. http://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/ Two other places you might check: http://scpd.stanford.edu/ http://www.cvn.columbia.edu/ They are both significantly more expensive than Harvard or Penn State. Stanford may require that you have a corporate sponsor. Columbia looks like their program may be possible without any travel at all. Good luck!
