Marshal USC is good for marketing among these from what i have heard from colleges. A little more research will help though talking to alumni and some good ad consultants

Thanks, bb! Sorry for posting a hypothetical scenario at the moment.

My expectation for this education is to get the best Marketing/business knowledge from one of these schools. I am currently working in a big pharmaceutical company having analytics/policy role supporting the product value demonstration to (dotted line) support the marketing team (but I am not in marketing). I want to make a career transition into a pharmaceutical product management role in the near future. Some senior people from my company did tell me getting a stretch project with marketing might be more important than an MBA. But I do think if I want to be a serious marketer I need some fundamental education in marketing to have more capability to disrupt.

I did read a lot on this forum about Kelley's marketing reputation (is it close to top 10 in marketing in US?). But I haven't read much about the reputation of marketing in other 3 schools. If someone can let me know that that is something I am looking for. Thanks!

Welcome to GMAT Club,

This forum is for non-hypothetical discussions because hypothetically it can be anything.
The Online MBA experience is still evolving and still work in progress. I think it really depends on what you are expecting to take out from it and how you plan to apply your MBA experience and degree and why...

Keep in mind that the easier a program is to get into, the less valuable it is in eyes of other applicants as well as employers and vice versa - the harder and the more selective it is, the better recruiting chances it offers.

Thx.
BB.

I would pick UNC. UNC has a fantastic healthcare program and has a top medical/dental/pharmacy program nationally. I work in pharma marketing and I work at a top 10 Pharma company and know almost 5-6 UNC MBA's working there. I would choose UNC here for sure and I think you can reach your goals.
