The driving force behind earning your master’s degree in marketing could be a variety of things. Maybe you’ve previously worked or earned a degree in a different field, and you want a master’s degree that can help you enter the field of marketing.

No matter what your goals are, our master’s in marketing online can help you prepare for exciting opportunities as you develop your leadership and communication skills.

You may be able to earn course credit for relevant life experience through our Experience Plus program.

As an online Liberty student, you can network with marketing professionals from across the country.

The amount of time you spend on your online marketing master’s degree will depend on a number of factors, such as your number of transfer credits, your success in each course, and the number of classes you take each semester. You can potentially transfer in up to 50% of your total graduate marketing degree, allowing you to finish sooner. And, with Liberty’s 100% online, 8-week courses, you’ll have the freedom to fit your classes into your busy schedule.

Like many students, you may be wondering whether an online master’s degree in marketing offers the same rigor and credibility as an on-campus program. At Liberty, you can be confident that the degree you earn will be of the highest quality.

Liberty University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

You can rest assured that our master’s in marketing online meets high academic standards and accreditation requirements – and that it can help you get where you want to go.

The goal of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) is to provide a broad, well-rounded business education. MBA students may be able to add on a specialization in a particular area that interests them, like marketing. Still, the degree as a whole focuses primarily on business-specific topics. If you would like to focus mainly on business with the option to take some marketing courses, you may be interested in Liberty’s MBA in Marketing.

In contrast, a Master of Science (MS) degree is typically more targeted and specialized than an MBA. It allows you to dive deep into a specific discipline rather than covering many different areas. If you want to look specifically at methods, strategies, and research for marketing professionals, Liberty’s MS in Marketing may be a great fit for you.

If you already work in marketing, earning a master’s in marketing online may help you pursue a promotion or boost your earning potential. You can also develop skills that may help you perform better in your current role, or you could gain the know-how to explore other opportunities in the field – such as switching from search engine marketing to social media marketing.

Or maybe you’re new to the field of marketing, and you want to develop a solid understanding of marketing principles so you can get your career started. If so, an MS in Marketing can help provide the foundational knowledge and skills you need to confidently enter the workplace and pursue job opportunities for marketing professionals.

Here are just some of the roles you could pursue with a master’s in marketing online:

Additionally, depending on the specific institution, you may be able to pursue teaching positions at colleges or universities.

Our marketing master’s program provides valuable training that can help you pursue career advancement and new job opportunities. It also serves as an excellent stepping stone to a doctoral program. Depending on your specific career goals, you may decide that a master’s degree is the final step you need to take in your educational journey – or you may find that earning a doctoral degree can help open up additional doors of opportunity and enable you to further hone your skill set.

If you decide to pursue a doctorate after completing your Master of Science in Marketing online, Liberty has options! Interested in continuing your study of communication or digital media at the doctoral level? If so, you may be interested in our PhD in Communication or our PhD in Strategic Media! If you want to gain practical, hands-on skills for marketing in a business setting, you may want to consider our Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) in Marketing.

We also offer many doctoral degrees in other fields. Some doctoral degrees require completion of a particular master’s degree for admission while others are open to applicants from a wide range of educational backgrounds.
