The focus of most media management programs is the acquisition of practical skills and knowledge necessary for a career in the media and entertainment industries. Students might encounter courses in television production, social media marketing, the music industry and media economics.

Once you have obtained a graduate degree in business and have significant hands-on experience, the next step is an Executive MBA (EMBA). Programs combine fundamentals such as finance, accounting and marketing with leadership studies to get you into high-level executive and management positions.
