PROGRESSIVE DEGREE PROGRAM

Progressive MSMKT students complete 27-30 units and customize their degree by selecting either the Consumer Behavior or Marketing Analytics track. The Marketing Analytics track is a STEM designated program. The MSMKT PDP program is open to both business and non-business majors. The MS MKT program starts in the Summer term and follows a sequential order. Therefore, students interested in an MS MKT PDP must apply to start in summer term only.

Undergraduate business majors may qualify to have up to 9 units of MSMKT graduate electives count toward their undergraduate Marshall Upper Division Electives (MUDE) units.
