Marketing Degree
The importance of marketing is underlined by the fact that marketing activities constitute one-half of the total cost of an average product and that a marketing orientation is linked with the purpose of any business or organization; that is, serving customer needs. The program of study in marketing provides the knowledge students need to successfully create customer value in a dynamic environment. Creating customer value requires a balance between thinking logically and creatively, and the marketing specialization challenges students to do both. Students also have opportunities to develop interpersonal and communication capabilities, and valuable skills in demand by local, national and international employers.
Marketing Specialization
Students in the marketing specialization take a common body of MKTG courses beyond the School of Business core. In addition, elective courses allow each student to tailor his or her studies to a particular area of interest. Students are encouraged to work with the Marketing Department head to choose these electives. Students can also choose to focus on hospitality and tourism as an option within the marketing specialization.
