MS in Marketing

NYU Stern School of Business's MS in Marketing is a specialised, STEM-designated master's at one of the world's leading business schools, in the heart of Manhattan. The intensive one-year program builds deep expertise in consumer behaviour, marketing analytics, brand strategy, digital marketing, and data-driven decision-making, taught by Stern's renowned marketing faculty. Its STEM designation is a major advantage for international students — it unlocks the 24-month OPT STEM extension on top of the standard 12 months, giving up to 36 months of US work authorisation.

Sri Lankan applicants from business, economics, and quantitative backgrounds at Colombo, Sri Jayewardenepura, Moratuwa, NSBM, NIBM, and SLIIT Business School choose Stern for its brand power and the analytics-led, STEM-designated curriculum. Manhattan offers unmatched access to consumer-brand, media, tech, and consulting recruiters. With 36 months of total OPT, graduates have a strong runway into US roles before H-1B sponsorship. Returnees route into senior brand, marketing-analytics, and growth roles at Unilever Sri Lanka, John Keells, Dialog Axiata, MAS Holdings, Brandix, Hemas, and the leading Colombo agencies and digital firms.
