Marketing
Introduction & Overview
The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines Marketing as “the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.” Marketing strategically connects businesses to consumers.
The Marketing program provides core knowledge of theory, concepts and principles, as well as the methods and application of effective strategic marketing management techniques that will prepare each student for a career in the marketing field. Students will examine the flow of goods and services from the producer to the consumer, and explore and analyze consumer characteristics and behavior, the impact of advertising and communication, marketing research techniques and international marketing systems.
In addition to preparing the student for a career in the marketing field in the areas of market research, brand management, advertising, sales promotion, public relations and sales, the marketing program provides an excellent background for graduate studies and professional certification.
It is strongly recommended that students majoring in Marketing take at least one credit-bearing internship during the junior or senior year.
