Marketers must use advanced skills and knowledge to manage strategy and marketing decisions while firms experience radical changes to their business models.

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, careers related to marketing — including marketing managers, market research analysts, public relations specialists (including social media) and marketing specialists — are expected to grow faster than average from 2022 to 2032 with an expected growth rate ranging from 6-13% . Employment growth will be driven by an increasing use of data and market research across many industries, including big data associated with social media comments, online product reviews, and other sources that provide insights on consumer behaviors and preferences.

In 2022, marketing managers earned a national median pay of $140,040 per year, market research analysts earned a national median pay of $68,230, and public relations specialist (including social media) earned a national median pay of $67,440. While most entry-level positions require a bachelor’s degree, master’s degrees help differentiate job applicants and those with master’s degrees can have the best job outlook.

If you compare our graduate tuition to other AACSB-accredited business schools who offer online classes, you will find that this per-credit price is quite reasonable.
