Want to be a market strategist, any ideas as to where to study?

[Emily]

Hello everyone =) I'd like to become a market strategist, however, I'm in a cinch as to where I should study. I was thinking about applying to SCAD to major in Design Management. Do you have any ideas as to others courses I could study? Also, as I finish up high school, any recommended electives to get into a better college for this type of career? Thanks!

The first thing you should do is check out job prospects

"Market Strategist" is rather a vague term. It can mean several different things

"Design management" is equally vague

And don’t forget university sites on Facebook.

Some of these sites have blogs where you can ask specific questions about the university.

I couldn’t put in direct links to some of these because Answers.com only lets you have ten links. Cut and paste the address into your URL bar.
