<p>Which colleges offer marketing and which colleges are well known for marketing?</p>
<p>The only ones I can think of are
Boston College
NYU</p>
<p>Wisconsin is good, especially in mkting research with the Nielsen Center (as in Nielsen tv ratings)</p>

<p>Almost any university with a school of business will have a marketing major.</p>
<p>Wharton and Ross have the top undergraduate Marketing departments, but many schools have excellent Marketing programs, including UNC, Indiana and Texas-Austin.</p>
<p>Babson College in Wellesley, Mass. has a good reputation for undergrad business programs, and I'm sure they have a Marketing department, but I'm honestly not sure how it compares with BC or NYU.</p>
<p>The top 25 undergraduate Marketing programs according to the latest USNWR:</p>

<p>It's "babaghanouj"! I hate eggplant.</p>
<p>shukran, ya habibi, but i prefer "babaganoush" and "oberjeans" :)</p>
<p>Also remember location will effect what type of marketing you want to get into. Marketing jobs tend to be recruited more locally than banking or consulting jobs. I chose Columbia for my MBA over some other options primarily because of its proximity to the New York media scene. So for a media or fashion oriented person I might recommend NYU (although I'd personally never want to go there - no campus). For someone who wants to work at a Big Consumer packaged goods company or a big retailer like The Limited Brands, a midwest school like Michigan or Wisconsin might be the best bet. For a person who wants to do marketing at a tech company, Haas might be the best choice. Its a lot to think about at 17, and it is not a huge factor (you can still work in media marketing as an Indiana grad!), but it might be a slight help.</p>
<p>I agree with Slipper. Regional consideration is very important. However, I would say that in the case of Marketing, Wharton and Ross are not limited by regional constraints. Their programs are so strong that companies from all over the US and even internationally flock to their campuses to recruit Marketing students. But otherwise, I would definitely recommend students to take geographic factors into account.</p>
<p>Do you think that list ^ USNWR is accurate to some degree?
Im a resident of NY but I dont have the stats for Stern, and I dont want to go to CUNY Baruch or Fordham. What should I do? I was hoping I could at least try for Boston College, but thats pretty difficult too.</p>
<p>I would say it is accurate to "some degree". But as Slipper said, if you wish to join a Silicon Valley tech company like Google, Intel or Cisco, you'd probably be better off going to Haas or Marshall than to McCombs. Geographic and industry preferences mush be factored in. The only two undergraduate marketing programs that really have national reputations are Wharton and Ross.</p>

<p>which university has the easiest admission?</p>
<p>Marketing makes me puke. If you want to get a job doing it, at least get a college education in something else first.</p>
<p>^ Could you explain that further? How is marketing negative to you? I figured going into business and specializing in marketing in undergrad would be the way to go?</p>
<p>I think the poster is referring to the idea that Marketing is a pretty common sense discipline, as well as the idea that most business majors view Marketing as "the easy business major." A liberal arts degree in Psychology, English, or some other relevant discipline should be enough to land a Marketing job as well - there's always MBA school.</p>
<p>But wouldn't it be an advantage if I majored in Business during undergrad before grad school?</p>
<p>My guess is that the best graduate business schools do not prefer undergraduate business majors of any type, and marketing least of all.</p>
<p>But they also don't NOT prefer them. They don't really care what your major is, to be honest. It's all about GMAT, work experience, and college GPA.</p>
<p>I thought work experience was the most important, along with one's GMAT score</p>
<p>Are there any other colleges with marketing? in the North east area?</p>
