WHO SHOULD APPLY?

Accomplished and high caliber marketing and communications professionals with eight years of experience and responsibilities at the director or VP-level and above will benefit most from this degree program. Those who seek deeper knowledge and the leadership skills to: advance to the C-Suite, transition to working for larger brands or agencies, switch from one industry specialty to another or move from the agency to the client side, will find the course content offered invaluable in helping them to reach their professional goals and objectives.


WHY EARN THIS DEGREE?

This executive-level degree program offers greater applied professional insights than an MBA. In addition, unlike other marketing and communications degrees, it builds your expertise in marketing and public relations, with an integrated approach that prepares you for traditional executive-level positions, as well as for emerging roles such as Chief Growth Officer or Chief Experience Officer. Through the Executive Master's you’ll gain the critical thinking and leadership skills needed to effectively drive business growth through the marketing and PR functions.

Upon graduation, you’ll be prepared to assume roles, such as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) or Chief Communications Officer (CCO).
