Text on screen: Program Spotlight: Marketing (MS)
Text on screen: Eric Rhiney, Chair, Associate Professor, Management Department
Eric Rhiney: So, at the heart of our MS and Marketing program is a strategic intent to develop
the next generation of marketing leaders. There are very few aims in Marketing programs
out there. So it's one of the few that really gives you a deep strategic, deep thinking
of marketing from a leadership perspective.

The other thing that I really like about it is that we have very small classes, so
we get to know our students. They get to know us and each other, and that really helps
to drive learning.

Payton H.: It's one of the major reasons why I decided to go to ɫɫ¸£ÀûÉç in the first place.
[Footage of professor sitting at a table with two students having a conversation.]
It's very hands-on and one-on-one. And you get to know pretty much everyone in class.

Rhiney: Our marketing program combines rigorous course work, experiential learning and some
practical one-on-one applications.
Text on screen: Hannah F. (Student)
Hannah F.: There was a lot more of intimate group work where we were doing case studies, where
we were working with real working professionals that would come in and present us
with a business problem, and we would have an hour to come up with a solution and
come back and present it back to them.
Payton: I love how most of the professors, they also have their own jobs within the business
world.

So it's basically they bring a lot of real-life experience and real-life examples
in it that really helped to drive home a lot of the material that's being taught.
Rhiney: I really push my students.

I feel like it's necessary because as they get into these higher leadership positions,
the unknown is going to hit them. So I want to hit them with that unknown in the classroom.

So the program really is ideal for recent college graduates who want to pursue a career
in marketing, as well as mid-career professionals who are looking to enhance their
marketing knowledge and skills.

Hannah: I was a full-time student while at ɫɫ¸£ÀûÉç during my master's degree and I was also
full-time working, and having teachers that were really flexible was really, really
helpful for me.
Payton: I feel my professors here are really setting me up for success because most of them
have a lot of connections within the business world.

They want to help you as much as they can and get you involved and get you going to
career fairs and getting talk to people for internships and careers down the road.
Rhiney: When I see them really achieve and I see that they gain that confidence of achieving,
that's terrific for me. I love it.
