Vanderbilt Business MBA vs Master of Marketing Programs

Wondering whether to dive into a Master of Marketing or an MBA with a marketing focus? Amanda Fend, the Director of Recruiting at Vanderbilt MBA, is here to talk you through the career trajectories and nuances of these degrees so you can narrow in on the degree that suits YOU best.

🎓 Choosing Your Path: Master of Marketing vs. MBA: Marketing Concentration
If you’re fresh out of undergrad with dreams of joining a marketing team, a Master of Marketing might be your golden ticket. But, if you’ve got 4-5 years of work experience under your belt, an MBA could be a better fit.

💼 Career Trajectories
MBA grads, with their marketing focus, often step into roles like brand managers, product managers, or marketing managers. On the flip side, Master of Marketing alums typically start with entry-level roles but earn promotions faster.

📘 Curriculum Comparison
MBA students get a wide breadth of classes – finance, operations, strategy – beyond marketing. Master of Marketing, on the other hand, is a deep dive into marketing specifics and verticals. Both take similar marketing courses, but the approach varies.

🌟 Internships
MBA candidates embark on a full-time, structured summer internship, while Master of Marketing students can intern part-time during the academic year.

🤔 Still Debating?
If the Master of Marketing vs. MBA with a marketing concentration debate is still swirling around in your mind, research is your best friend. Dig into programs, align them with your goals, and make an informed decision. Your commitment deserves the best fit.
