Every degree program requires a significant commitment. Earning a graduate degree will require many hours of hard work as well as an investment of financial resources (although you may find the rewards to be worth your effort). Take your time when choosing your program, as you will want to make sure you’re making the right decision. Another important consideration is your desired career path.
The MBA in marketing and the master’s degree in marketing can both lead to careers in the marketing field. However, there are some differences in the likely career path of graduates from each program.
Individuals with an MBA with an Emphasis in Marketing may also be qualified to hold many of the same positions as those with a master’s in marketing. However, with the right experience, they may be able to pursue positions such as:
- General and operations manager
- Management analyst
- Sales manager
- Administrative services manager
Grand Canyon University’s Colangelo College of Business is committed to graduating students who are leaders in their communities and fields. The Master of Business Administration with an Emphasis in Marketing, which is available online, explores topics such as international marketing, services marketing and operations management.
