Graduate Program in Strategic Marketing

From data to decision, in three months

Marketing that can't be measured can't be defended in front of a committee. This graduate program prepares professionals to design and implement strategies that generate demonstrable value: researching the market, building the message, and executing it across digital channels.

One hundred percent online. Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings.

The program

Strategy that holds up under scrutiny

The goal is to develop innovative, strategic marketing leaders capable of facing today's business environment. We combine theory and practice to build three things that are hard to teach separately: analytical competency, effective communication and critical thinking.

i

Real cases, not textbook exercises

Every module closes with applied research exercises and experiential development projects built around real-world problems.

ii

Data-driven decisions

Critically analyze and evaluate different marketing strategies and their effectiveness across different market contexts, backing up every decision.

iii

Digital and traditional, integrated

You design plans that incorporate both approaches, aligned with the organization's objectives and the customer's real needs.

iv

Fits around your job

Two weeknight evening sessions and one Saturday session. Three months of commitment, not two years.

Content

Three modules, in sequence

The order matters: first you understand the market, then you build the message, and finally you take it to digital channels.
