About the Program

The Master of Science in Marketing provides students with a focused training in marketing science, and it develops the technical skills necessary for success in today’s business environment. Marketers require a high level of technical capabilities to respond to today’s dynamic marketing. At the same time, new tools such as neuroscience, analytics and the proliferation of digital media empower marketers to better understand customers and respond to their needs and wants. These skills offer a higher level of training than what is typically available in graduate marketing education.
