MARKETING CONCENTRATION (MKT) Five courses (15 credits)

Overview The purpose of marketing is to find and keep customers. Employers in today’s economic environment are keenly aware of this fact and actively seek competent, committed individuals for a variety of high growth careers in the field of marketing. The marketing concentration is designed to help students meet these criteria by providing them with an in-depth understanding of the most current thinking and practices in strategic marketing and marketing techniques along with the analytical, communication and computer skills their employers expect.
   
Career Paths Graduates with a concentration in marketing are finding opportunities in local, national, and international businesses as well as in government and non-profit organizations. Career paths lead from entry points in retail, sales, services marketing, marketing research and database management, advertising, promotion, product management, brand management, customer relations, and direct and electronic marketing.
   
Advising Notes The marketing concentration enables students to choose from a broad range of courses in management. Students with particular interests (e.g. in retailing, e-business, etc.) should consult with a departmental faculty advisor for guidance on course selection. Prerequisites for these courses are strictly enforced, so marketing concentrators should plan their schedules carefully and early.
