The University of Pennsylvania was ranked as the second-best school in the nation for a future career in marketing.

Hennessey Digital looked at 11 factors, including the percentage of business and marketing degrees awarded in a year, number of undergraduate students, the number of marketing bachelors awarded in a year, and marketing graduate median earnings after 10 years.
