Overview

Program Details

Digital Marketing program at Northern Illinois University is the first fully online Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)-accredited master's degree in digital marketing offered by an Illinois-based university. You can take advantage of flexible scheduling, as the courses are structured into eight- and five-week sessions offered throughout the year. In the end, you’ll have a master’s degree and be prepared to earn recognized digital marketing certifications.

Programme Structure

The Master of Science in Digital Marketing consists of two phases.

Phase One courses are designed to address deficiencies in undergraduate coursework considered to be prerequisite for Phase Two (30 credits) graduate coursework, which focuses on acquiring strategic and digital marketing knowledge and skills. Students with significant undergraduate coursework in business may be waived from some, or all, of the Phase One requirements.
Phase Two consists of 12 courses. Five courses are required from marketing strategy foundations (15 credit hours), and six courses are required from digital marketing foundations (12-13 credits). Students must complete either a capstone project or a capstone application (3 credits).
