[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How crucial is it to go to a solid undergrad business school for a kid who wants to work in marketing?  Due to a variety of factors, DS probably won't be going to a school much better than say, JMU.[/quote]

There are many who doubt the value of undergraduate business degrees - including elite schools that do not offer business to undergrads and some corporations that prefer liberal arts majors.

Accounting and finance are two specialties that are well regarded. [b]For marketing, it would be helpful to have a second language and understanding of international affairs. Something to stand out.[/b][/quote]

I have a degree in quantitative economics and had lots of recruiting interest from marketing arms of cpg firms, marketing focused consulting firms, and ad agencies.

Marketing is highly quantitative driven. I also have a ma degree in IR (my passion and interest). Marketers aren't looking for IR grads. They ideally want people who understand marketing but also have the quant skills of a bond trader.

I know a few people who work at Google and FB ad analytics and ad sales divisions and most of them have hard skills in statistical analysis.
