Please look at the employment reports of various schools and see what % of students the school places in marketing roles. Also, what kind of industry are you looking at? Is it CPG, tech, or industry?

Most employment reports will break down the job offers for both industry and functional area. As for schools which provide good opportunities in marketing, Kellogg is definitely on or near the top of the list. But a lot of other schools in the top 15 will provide a good platform too. Duke has a very good program for those who want to pursue marketing. As does Ross since it is a good program with good opportunities in almost all functional areas. I have heard good things about marketing at Indiana (Kelley School of Business) too.

Duke also has a very well regarded marketing program. Then again, pretty much any good MBA program will provide good career opportunities in marketing, since marketing is a common post-MBA job. I agree with the advice of looking at the career reports, especially to make sure the companies you're interested in recruit at a particular school.

There are a few programs which place a relatively high number of students in marketing roles. Ross places almost 20% of its class in marketing. Kellogg and Duke fall in this category too. However, most programs place a relatively less % of their classes in marketing (Booth places approx 6% of its class in these roles) simply because a higher % of students in these programs opt for jobs in Consulting and Finance.

As Jerz said though, all good programs will provide you the skills, alumni network and career opportunities for a career in marketing.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the University of Wisconsin is noted for having an especially strong marketing program for a slightly lower tier school (not sure where you're aiming).
