Hi everyone, I am stuck in a rather confusing place and I was hoping for some help. I just graduated with a BS in psychology. I had planned to get my PhD in cognitive psych but I started to despise basic research. I now crave a more applied/practical line of research. I am really interested in advertising and consumer psychology. I would love to run experiments to test the effectiveness of marketing campaigns or to explore consumer decision making and behavior...etc. But it seems that, in regards to grad programs in the U.S., this line of work falls more under marketing than psychology. So my main questions are: 1. Is it even feasible/realistic to pursue an MBA/MS in marketing with my background? For what its worth I minored in computational sciences (so ya, just about nothing) and had a 3.97 GPA and a strong research/stats background that includes participation in 2 research experience for undergraduates (REU) programs and a 2yr research assistant position. But I didn't take a single business class... 2. If #1 is at all feasible/realistic, does anyone know of any U.S. MA/MS/MBA or even PhD programs that would fit best with my background? That is, ones that focus on consumer/marketing behavior or offer concentrations heavier on psych? The Stanford Graduate School of Business's "Behavioral Marketing" PhD concentration (http://www.gsb.stanf...ting/index.html) sounds absolutely incredible but I think that there is still an econ prereq despite the heavy psych focus... plus I wont pretend that I could get accepted regardless. Any advice or suggestions that anyone could give would be IMMENSELY appreciated. Thank you so much!!
