Designed with
your goals in mind.
Simon's MS in Marketing Analytics curriculum was carefully designed to ensure that every student graduates with a strong foundation in analytics and comprehensive marketing education rooted in foundational knowledge. You'll gain statistical and analytical skills, and strategies that will make you the go-to person for evidence-based insights and answers.
Choosing between internship and non-internship tracks.
Full-Time MS in Marketing Analytics students can choose between internship and non-internship tracks to accommodate their goals. The non-internship track has a shorter timeline, but the benefits of the internship track are many, including a wealth of valuable real-world experience that can prepare you for career success, and help differentiate you from other candidates during your job search. A majority of our students choose this path for the hands-on experience and career preparation it provides.

Students are encouraged to consider the value that internships offer. Hands-on experience in the workplace is a great way to gain a competitive edge. While valuable, an internship is not required and it is important to note that we can’t guarantee placement. Talk with the Admissions Office about which track is right for you, and get more information on the Full-Time MS in Marketing Analytics program in our course catalog.
