About the MSA/MSM Dual Degree at Loyola

Marketing professionals work in a global environment marked by continuous economic, environmental and social evolutions. Today’s marketers need the skills to deliver brand growth and values-based leadership along with a strong background in fundamental business, strategy, and analytics skills to impact organizational growth and give their companies a competitive edge.

The Loyola MBA/MSM dual degree offers a powerful combination of in-demand marketing and business skills for marketing professionals who want to take on senior leadership roles and drive organizational success.

By completing the dual-degree program, you will earn a master's in marketing and an MBA with a specialization in marketing, adding distinctiveness to your resume. The dual degree in business and marketing requires four fewer courses than if each degree were earned separately. A maximum gap of one quarter is allowed between the completion of one program and the start of the other.
