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.

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

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.

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.

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

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