Students develop close professional and personal relationships with Board members via a mentoring program, round table discussions and luncheons, seminars, electronic discussion groups, MSMR monthly speaker forums, and internships provided by Board members’ companies.
Because it is the launching point to a great career.
Every graduate student of the MSMR program has found a career in marketing research, with an average starting salary since 2000 of $55,000. Our graduates are currently employed with companies such as ACNielsen, Maritz Research, Verizon, Frito-Lay, M/A/R/C Research, Hallmark.
Because it is located in a dynamic growing metroplex.
The Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex – the ninth largest in the United States, with over 5.4 million people – offers MSMR students a wide variety of cultural, recreational and career opportunities. The area is home to numerous professional and community theaters, chamber and symphony orchestras, ballet companies, world class museums and art galleries. In addition to the many nearby lakes and state parks, Dallas hosts numerous sporting events and is home to several major league sports teams. Over 10,000 business headquarters (including seven Fortune 500 companies) are located in the area, and it was recently rated by Money and Newsweek magazines as one of the best places to live in the United States. A July 1999 study of 315 U.S. metropolitan areas by the Milken Institute found the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex second only to San Jose, California, in the size and importance of its high-tech economy. The study went on to say tech-focused areas, “tech-poles”, will continue to enjoy faster economic growth and therefore vast opportunities in the next decade.
