What are the best colleges for a Masters in Marketing?
I have recently graduated from university and am looking to find a well reputed university to earn my Masters in Marketing from. I have about a years work experience on my side and am planning to gain another years of experience before going for my masters. Also, I am looking for a college that takes a strong interest in taking care of its students as well as being helpful when it comes to financial aid. I hear that most of the best colleges are either in the UK or US nowadays. Let me know what your take on this is :). Thanks in advance

I'm not quite sure of your aspirations or qualifications, but here are the top marketing programs in the United States: 1Northwestern University (Kellogg) Evanston, IL 2University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) Philadelphia, PA 3Duke University (Fuqua) Durham, NC 4Stanford University Stanford, CA 5Harvard University Boston, MA 6Columbia University New York, NY 6 University of Chicago (Booth) Chicago, IL 8University of Michigan--Ann Arbor (Ross) Ann Arbor, MI 9University of California--Berkeley (Haas) Berkeley, CA 10University of California--Los Angeles (Anderson) Los Angeles, CA The US is usually known to have the best business programs in the world, so you will certainly find the top ones here. Be aware, however, that it is extremely hard to get in to one of these schools. Thousands of well-qualified people try and fail every year. I'm not sure what country your from, but that in itself could be a disadvantage to you because these schools usually take from top universities (usually in US, sometimes Europe and rarely outside of the West). Still, there's no harm in trying because an education from these schools could shoot you to the top. As far as financial aid, these top schools will often be generous with it if you are able to get in. You will have to check with your own specifics to really see. On a side note: The US and UK have ALWAYS (for the past 300 years, since the existence of colleges basically) had the best universities in the world. In fact, if anything, it is finally changing now! With the rising repute of the IIT's in India and higher education growing in China, finally the monopoly on superb education in the West is being broken.

Yeah, an MBA in Marketing would definitely improve your job prospects. With the undergrad in Biology/MBA in Marketing you could find a job with a Science corporation, Government, or in the medicine industry.

Is it worth it to go to school to earn my Masters in Marketing
Is it worth it to go to school to earn my Masters in Marketing?
I recently graduated from FIT with my BA in Advertising and Marketing. There is absolutely no jobs on the market and most company's have a hiring freeze. I am debating going back to school and was wondering if it is worth the time money and energy to go to Baruch to get my Masters in Marketing. I was also thinking about possible going for my MBA in Business but I am not so sure if I have the drive to be in school for as long as it will take to complete the MBA. Does anyone here any knowledge of how the market is for those who graduated with a Masters in Marketing and the difference is for them when they hit the job market? If anyone here also has any info about their time at Baruch that would also be appreciated.

No, if you know the basics, build up your rep. Kind of like psychologists, even if your the smartest of your kind in psychology, you need reputation for people to come to you. In your case, corporations would respect you more with more experience and good recommendations. [also of seeing the things you've done and how good it is]. Just wait until you find a job, it'll take a while in todays economy but school will just get you farther down the road of debt.

The previous poster is correct in that it's better to get actual work experience going instead of just continuing to go to school. This is especially relevant for business graduates such as in Marketing or Finance or Accounting and so on. Companies want someone who has mixed in real business world experience rather than someone who is overqualified in schooling. Also most MBA programs look for real world business experience within their candidates too. Yes you can possibly get a better salary and recognition with an MBA or a Masters in Marketing, but in business nothing is as solid as actual experience. And I know it's a catch-22 situation here. You're trying to get your career started in order to build said experience, companies are only hiring someone with ready experience. The best thing is to just continue looking and eventually a company will hire you. Plus there are plenty of places like Bank of America, IBM, Dell, Citibank etc that hire students straight of college to put them into special "post-grad" positions, where they're specifically trained by the company to eventually get put into a mid-level type job role. This would be perfect for your situation.

First off, Bill Gates dropped out of college... The degree doesn't matter if you hate the work. Pursue which ever one gets you psyched up and, believe me, you will work hard because you like it, you will be good at it since you work hard and you will get paid. But remember, nothing is free...if you get paid well, you earn it...so be mentally and physically perpared to fly all over the country living out of hotels if you get a job in finance or going to 12 hour emergency meetings on Saturday if you work in marketing... Good luck
