Graduate

Master of Science in Integrated Marketing Communication

The IMC master’s degree teaches students how to create consistent and effective messages that influence behavior.

About this Program

Students can choose between two delivery methods – residential or online.

Become a person of influence. Learn how to conceive and communicate investable ideas that are unique, compelling and influential.

A creative idea by itself is not enough to drive an effective campaign. Analytics alone is unable to set a course. But the power to influence comes from integrating creativity, analysis and insight in a sustained way.

Integrated Marketing Communication is a strategic process for coordinating interactions to influence behavior. When you invest your time, energy and focus to learn how to connect a brand or organization to an audience, you will master the science of influence in a way that is valuable to nearly every field.

You can earn your M.S. in IMC through either the residential program in Oxford or the online program. The courses are the same, but the online program is geared toward working professionals who need a more flexible schedule.

The priority deadline to apply is February 1 and the final deadline is March 15.
