Overview

The Master of Science in Marketing Science program offers a STEM-eligible curriculum that focuses on marketing analytics. The program trains marketing researchers to work in a variety of organizations where marketing analytics adds value, including media and advertising, consumer products, omnichannel retailing, and financial services.

The growing demand for data analytics and the increasingly complex consumer understanding required in marketing decisions is spurring a growing demand for “analytical marketers”, who can combine quantitative skills, market understanding and creative insights.

The MS in Marketing Science requires three semesters of full-time study. Students must complete a minimum of ten full-term graduate-level courses (30 credits).

Academics

Students take a carefully constructed curriculum of PhD, MBA, and MS courses offered at Columbia Business School, and electives chosen from courses offered by CBS or other schools at Columbia University (e.g., Engineering, Economics, Statistics, Computer Science, Psychology).

This program is intended for students who prefer a shorter and more industry-oriented experience than the School’s Doctoral Program.
