What Masters Degree would be beneficial to an Art Director?

I'm planning to pursue a Masters Degree in Europe to strengthen myself. I can't afford the expensive ad schools like MAS and VCU .I found an affordable Masters Degree in Typography. Would that degree be beneficial to an Advertising Art Director? Especially since Typography is my weakpoint.

A Masters would help you most if you wanted to teach at some time in the future.

Other than that, in most cases, you'll learn more on the job than in grad school.

Advertising and design are businesses that reward and promote talent over training.

Best of luck,

Steve
