Washington D.C. Marketing MBAs
When you think of Washington D.C., the first thought is most likely politics, but that’s not all there is to the city. D.C. is also one of the best places in the U.S. to find a job in marketing. According to a report in Forbes, Washington D.C. is among the top cities for jobs as a marketing manager, marketing coordinator and online marketing manager.
One of the reasons for D.C.’s marketing focus includes the many marketing firms and enterprises that call the city home. These companies require creative professionals to fill their many open positions, and Marketing MBAs can quickly and easily snag any of these openings.
And the good news for these MBAs is that they have many schools to choose from to earn an MBA in marketing. Five out of the six graduate schools in the D.C. area offer a concentration in marketing, and at a few of the schools, electives aren’t all that are available. At McDonough, MBAs can also participate in a consumer research institute, and at the Smith School, they can participate in a Behavioral Lab.
So, what does it look like to earn an MBA in Marketing in Washington D.C.? We’ve outlined the top five programs. Continue reading…
Top Employers D.C.
When you think about Washington, D.C., the first thing that probably comes to mind is politics, but the DC area offers so much more. The District of Columbia is officially home to 4.8 million people with a median household income of $93,200 and 48 percent of the population having attained a college education. The city is also home to all three branches of the U.S. federal government as well as 176 foreign embassies.
But working for the federal government isn’t your only option in the city. Yes, the federal government is the area’s largest employer, but the public school systems in D.C. hire the most number of people. And if neither of those sounds interesting, D.C. is also the headquarters of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Plus, there are many large employers in the region.
So, if you’re thinking about living and working in Washington D.C.—post earning your MBA from Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business or George Washington University’s School of Business—where should you work? There are plenty of options. It all depends on what you’re looking for. We’ve outlined a list of the top employers DC has to offer based on size, reputation, benefits and more. Continue reading…
MBATube Killed the SEO Star
It feels positively Philip K. Dick-esque to think that from the mid-20th century until roughly 5-10 years into the new millennium, moving images delivered across cathode ray televisions were the medium de rigeur to communicate information to a large audience.
