Stanford University does not offer a dedicated MSc in Marketing program. The closest option is the PhD in Marketing (under Stanford GSB), which is highly research-oriented and meant for academic careers, not direct industry placements. As a result, no average salary data is published for a "Stanford MSc in Marketing" because such a program doesn't exist.

Students interested in marketing careers at Stanford typically pursue the Stanford MBA, where they can take marketing as a specialization. According to Stanford GSB’s official 2023-24 employment report, the average salary for MBA graduates is $187,504, and the median is $185,000.

So if someone is looking for a master’s program that leads to top marketing jobs, Stanford’s MBA is the right fit, not an MSc in Marketing. Always best to double-check the official site when evaluating program offerings.

Anyone exploring marketing at Stanford should know that the university does not offer a separate MSc in Marketing. Instead, students build marketing knowledge through the Stanford MBA or MSx Program,and you can expect strong career outcomes from both of these programmes.

 Based on the official Stanford GSB employment report, the average salary for MBA graduates is $187,504, and the median is $185,000. Many graduates secure roles in top marketing, product, or brand management teams across major firms.

The MSx Program, designed for professionals with 8+ years of work experience, also leads to solid salary outcomes. Since MSx students have prior experience, their post-graduation roles often include higher-level marketing or leadership jobs, especially in tech or consulting.

So, while Stanford doesn’t offer an MSc only in marketing, you still get access to high-paying marketing roles through these programs. Choosing the MBA or MSx track depends on your experience level and career plans  both offer a strong mix of marketing knowledge and business leadership training.

There is no separate MSc in Marketing at Stanford so students interested in marketing usually study it through the Stanford MBA or the MSx program, both of which include marketing courses as part of a broader business degree.

Graduates from Stanford’s MBA program earn high salaries. As per the latest official report, the average starting salary is $187,504, and the median salary is $185,000. Many students go into roles in marketing, product management, and brand strategy at top companies.

For those coming from the MSx program, salaries vary more depending on work experience. Since most MSx students already have 8–10 years of work, their salary outcomes are often higher, especially in leadership or strategic marketing roles.

So yes, while Stanford doesn’t offer an MSc in Marketing alone, students who study marketing through their MBA or MSx programs still see very strong salary outcomes. You can check Stanford GSB’s official employment report for the most accurate and recent data.
