Education and Training Requirements
High School
Most employers require their marketing research analysts to hold at least a bachelor's degree, so a college preparatory program is advised. Classes in English, marketing, economics, mathematics, psychology, and sociology are particularly important. Courses in computer science are especially useful, since a great deal of tabulation and statistical analysis is required in the marketing research field.
