Hello,

Babson and PSU are in a similar tier, though Babson is slightly higher rank. I would say that Babson probably has a better overall reputation, though it is especially known for its strength in entrepreneurship. It seems that both schools offer a marketing concentration, but I do not know which school has a stronger marketing program. I suggest you research both programs -- look at their marketing course offerings, program structure, professors, etc. and see which one appeals most to you. Remember, it's not always black and white as to 'which school is better' -- the better question to ask is 'which school is better for me?'. Further, I suggest you look at the employment statistics from each school's career services office - these are usually available on their website and will tell you where students from each school are going post-MBA. Hopefully this will give you a sense of which school's recruiting focus is more closely aligned with your aspirations and goals.

Good luck!
