Online MS in Marketing at SCU: Program Overview

Shape Your Ethical Impact

For as much value as MarTech provides, these powerful digital marketing tools (and the people they target) demand responsible leaders who will use them ethically, and with respect for consumer protection and privacy. With help from Santa Clara University’s Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, we conduct thought-provoking discussions of data collection, customer privacy and other hot-button marketing issues with global impact today. Students will graduate from the Online Master’s in Marketing instilled with the values and perspective necessary to lead conscientiously in Silicon Valley and beyond.

A Master’s Degree for Marketing Innovators

Today’s marketing industry is heavily informed, and influenced, by a variety of data—not guesses. That’s why the SCU Leavey Online Master’s in Marketing degree was created to help you become fluent in the burgeoning field of marketing technology, or “MarTech.” This not only includes the use of key marketing software like Salesforce, Google Analytics and Marketo, but it also helps you develop a keen sense of best practices for digital marketing strategies, such as search engine optimization, internet advertising, social media marketing and more.

A truly seamless online learning experience is one in which your coursework and lectures are just a browser tab away from the real-world materials you are learning to use. Thus, coursework for the online marketing master’s program emphasizes all aspects of MarTech, from analytics and customer behavior tracking to social media integration and digital content strategy.

The Santa Clara network offers me the opportunity to see what’s possible—not just within MarTech, but also in various industries here in Silicon Valley.
