Director’s Message
Marketing is experiencing change due in great part to the growth of behavioral targeting, social media and mobile marketing. Driving the explosive growth and interest for these areas (as well as the more “mature” digital areas such as search and E-commerce) is the fact that companies can now determine the exact ROI of a campaign due to the availability of all kinds of data. We are both proud and excited to introduce our digital marketing track.
Our MS in Marketing program prepares students for these growth areas, as well as traditional areas, by emphasizing a proficiency in quantitative skills such as statistics, databases and market research as well as qualitative skills such as consumer behavior. Regardless of the track you pursue, these skills will be what can set you apart from other “marketers” when competing for a job or advancing in your career.
Specialization is also critical in today’s marketplace. Our program allows you to take twice the number of marketing courses than other degree programs such as the MBA and obtain value-added certifications in some tracks at no additional cost. Learn more by attending one of our info sessions or our marketing events which are listed on our home page.
