Marketing degree or portfolio school?

Hi everyone, don’t know if this is an appropriate subreddit to post to about this.

Im currently switching degree paths right now to marketing/business from a biology degree, with the end goal or path of creative director or art director.

Im having trouble either deciding to go with a BA in marketing or portfolio school or any other degree paths that’ll help me achieve this role.

I already have some art directing and social media experience from working with smaller brands and my personal brand in the past. In which I got to experience hands on what it’s like to use and produce decent campaigns that pulled in customers.

(Technical skills learned from those projects:

- Product Photography/videography

- Editing / Retouching

- Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign/After effects

- UI/UX design

- Blender for mockups and backgrounds

- Copy writing

- Brand design

Im a little bit scared since pushing my self / putting myself out has always been difficult for me and the lesser demand of the role is hard to push through concurrently some advice would be greatly appreciated.
