Northwestern MSC vs Columbia SPS Technology Management for Marketing Career?

Hi everyone, I’m currently deciding between two master’s programs and would really appreciate some honest advice, especially from people working in marketing, consulting, tech, or anyone familiar with these schools/programs.

I got admitted to:
Northwestern University MSC (Master’s in Communication)
Columbia University SPS MS in Technology Management

My long-term goal is probably to work in marketing/growth marketing/marketing analytics in the US after graduation.
Right now I’m very torn because I feel like both options have pretty different pros and cons:

For Northwestern MSC:
The program itself seems stronger academically and has a better reputation overall
The curriculum feels more directly related to marketing/branding/consumer behavior
I’ve heard the alumni network is very strong
But it’s in Chicago, and I worry internship/job opportunities during the semester may be more limited compared to NYC

For Columbia SPS Technology Management:
Being in NYC feels like a huge advantage for internships, networking, and job opportunities
The program sounds broader and maybe more flexible career-wise
Columbia’s overall brand name is obviously strong internationally
But I’m honestly worried about SPS’s reputation.
I’m also worried Technology Management might end up being too broad/general and not specialized enough for marketing roles

A little more background:
My undergrad background is not business-heavy
I’m more interested in the business/marketing side of tech rather than engineering
I care a lot about employability in the US after graduation
I may stay in the US for a few years after grad school, but I could also eventually return to China, so brand recognition matters somewhat too
If you were in my position, which would you choose and why?

I’d especially love perspectives from:
people who attended either program
recruiters/hiring managers
international students
people working in marketing or tech-related business roles

Thanks so much!
