Eric Siu says, “With marketing jobs growing 9% faster than the national average and the average median pay $124,850 per year for a mid-level marketing manager, a degree in marketing is a smart idea. You can succeed in marketing with a bachelor’s degree in several fields, but a marketing degree makes it easier to land an entry-level job and rise in your field faster. There are several reasons why an undergraduate marketing degree is a good idea and why a graduate degree is even better.

College degrees leading to careers in marketing.

College majors that lead to careers in marketing include majors in business management, marketing, advertising, journalism and English. The latter three – advertising, journalism and English – are usually preferred for jobs in marketing communications and advertising.

Marketing communications, advertising, and public relations rely heavily on strong written and oral communication skills. An English major completes courses in creative and business writing, and literature. These prepare students for writing articles, press releases, marketing copy, advertising copy, radio and video scripts, website copy, and a wide range of materials that fall under the umbrella of marketing communications”.
