Is an MBA the Right Move for Marketers?

Find out for yourself at the World’s Largest MBA Event

An MBA is one of the most talked about graduate degrees in the world…but the burning question on a lot of marketers’ minds is, “do I need one? Won’t experience make up for not pursuing an MBA?”

The answer definitely varies based on your personal and professional situation, but one thing that’s for certain is that an MBA can help set you up for success in your marketing career. 

The average salary for a marketer with an MBA in the US is $95,000 while those with only a bachelor’s degree earn an average salary of $66,000. So, while many mid to upper level job descriptions may not say MBA required, it’s definitely common for them to say “MBA preferred”.
