Would love your opinions on these three choices

MBA (Marketing Concentration) from University of Phoenix

OR

MSc Marketing from Herriot Watt

OR

MSc International Marketing from Aberdeen Business School



Answers on several postcards please.

No postcards - will a postage stamp do?

Get a real degree?















joke :rofl:

Re: Advice and words from the wise.....

Marketing? Souv is yer man there. My only thought would be if the Masters is for use in North America then I'd go for the one from a North American institution everytime.

Take your pick mate !

Re: Advice and words from the wise.....
 

The answer will depend upon what use you intend to put them.

I take it you are looking at a career in marketing:rofl:

Thanks AX, my thoughts were similar. Only problem for me is I hate (with a passion) the whole 'MBA mentality'

Re: Advice and words from the wise.....
 

In a pretty round about way yes.

Re: Advice and words from the wise.....
 

Curious as to why you'd choose Phoenix over options available from Canadian institutions Butch.

If you want to chat anytime, drop me a line, I've recently gained promotion to Director of Marketing at TRU, so maybe I can give you some insight.

You is one godsend dude.

PM coming

Er, is he? News to me. I may be a DipM MCIM but I know bugger all about marketing. I only did the exams because the company I then worked for liked its consultants to have as many letters after their names as possible. I keep paying the CIM annual membership for the same reason.

I'd agree, though, that a degree from a North American institution might be an easier sell in the North American market.

Every man and his dog seems to have an MBA these days.

Exactly, which is why (in my tiny little mind) I was looking at the MSc

Re: Advice and words from the wise.....
 

I thought Oakvillian would be our marketing guru?

Re: Advice and words from the wise.....
 

I can understand that. I'm doing a MBA at Memorial here in St John's. Why? Because it's a qualification from a Canadian insitution, it helps broaden me from a Supply Chain guy to something more and it's a local networking opportunity. It's also being paid for by my employer which helps!

The MUN programme is not exactly top flight business school but is good enough for my needs.
