MBA or a master’s in marketing: Which is best for you?

This marketing master’s is an ideal choice for individuals who want to gain specialized knowledge in marketing to advance their careers. This can include professional marketers seeking to deepen their strategic expertise, those transitioning to a career in marketing and individuals with undergraduate degrees in non-business disciplines. Regardless of your background, you’ll complete this program with the marketing expertise to drive your career forward.

Alternatively, those seeking a wider breadth of advanced business knowledge may find a good fit in ASU’s online Master of Business Administration program. The MBA covers marketing as a topic area, but much less in-depth than if you pursue the marketing master’s.
