I have no idea how people view their MS Digital Marketing degree, though. With any school some of their programs are going to be highly regarded, and some aren't. You have to do some digging to see what people are saying. The NA vs RA debate might not even be an issue if enough companies have a positive opinion of that degree.

It's like the unaccredited business school near me. They don't have RA accreditation, but they have proven over time to produce quality graduates and have a solid program. In my community, you can get hired with that degree even though it's not RA. You would probably have less luck outside of my community with the same degree.

From what I've seen, it's the same way with Full Sail and certain industries/companies. They don't care that Full Sail is NA because they like their programs and the quality of their graduates. You just have to make sure that applies to the companies/industries you are pursuing with that particular degree.

PS I read it as online, digital marketing degree, sorry. That said any marketing degree now is mostly about online

I'll have earned my BS in Organizational Leadership from CSU Global and a Marketing Certificate from FHSU by the time I enroll in grad school. I'm looking for an online digital marketing master's. I'd love to be done in a year and that is possible at FSU. The tuition isn't ridiculous. The two potential drawbacks I'm seeing are that it's for-profit which some people snark at, but ALL universities and colleges are allowed to make a profit whether or not they have a tax exemption. Even non-profit universities and colleges are allowed to make a profit so that's not a huge deal to me. The issue I've come across is that they are only nationally accredited. They are licensed by the state of Florida, but they don't have a regional accreditation. Will this be an issue in work life? I am also toying with the idea of adjuncting at a local community college teaching marketing. I'm not 100% committed to it though. I mean I'd love to do it if I have the time once I have a job in marketing. I'm far more concerned about the challenges finding a job with a degree from a nationally accredited university.
