NYU's MS degree in Integrated Marketing is offered through SCPS. SCPS was created for (mainly) two purposes: 1) NYU wanted access to professionals (especially employees of companies with reimbursement for professional education) without stringent admissions requirement, 2) School of Continuing Professional Studies is an awesome source of revenue.
Getting a degree from SCPS is recommended (preferably) if you are currently employed, and require additional education for your job (without stringent admissions requirement). SCPS offers very limited assistance with employment opportunities, and you will not have access to Stern's Career Services, etc. Also, if you ever visited the SCPS admissions and administrative office, you will an idea of how important this school is to rest of NYU. If they haven't moved it, it's located in a small crappy building next to Palladium (one of their dorms) where they have few classrooms for undergrads. There's one window where they service SCPS enrolled students, which looks like a window at a local small community bank, or WesternUnion.
In my opinion, a degree from SCPS will not accomplish your goal. I don't know much about Rutgers MBA, but MBA is probably a better option between the two.
Full disclosure - I graduated from NYU Stern Undergrad in 2005. I also took classes at NYU SCPS while I worked in the consulting arm of Big 4 post graduation. Like I said, SCPS is probably a better investment for people who are currently working.
thanks, i have heard that scps does not have the best reputation in the nyu community but to the outside world when you put masters in integrated marketing from nyu on your resume wouldn't it sort of imply general nyu. my sister goes to stern and she said she had no idea what school masters of integrated marketing was a part of until i considered it so i figured it would be the same to most employers.
i do have experience in marketing but not the paper to back it up so considering nyu has a better brand name than rutgers (rutgers mba is ranked 57) do you not think it would do the trick to have a masters in marketing from there, again my main goal is the degree not to learn more. also consider that my undergrad is from rutgers also so would getting my grad from elsewhere not be a good idea?
