Start UIUC iMSM in January or defer?

What degree would you earn from WGU?

MS Digital Marketing or MS Marketing Analytics. Although I have worked in Marketing for many years, so a MS in Marketing may not be all that worthwhile. Open to opinions. Was just thinking about knocking out a faster degree and then doing the other, but that may be pointless.

I considered the possibility of pursuing the MS Digital Marketing program at WGU as well. However, it appears that since the curriculum relies heavily on Google and HubSpot certs, one can acquire that knowledge independently through certs outside of WGU.

I prefer the iMSM or iMBA route over the idea of getting both the WGU and UIUC masters. Therefore, I would choose one program over the other.

Finding a marketing program that stays current with the latest business tactics can be challenging. It's a fascinating career that, unfortunately, isn't discussed enough on this forum.

I agree with that. One of the deterrents of the WGU degree was that I already have the Google certs and Hubspots certs that you'd earn along the way. It would sort of be a wash in that aspect. It's honestly hard for any marketing programs to keep up with how fast marketing evolves.
