Marketing

Program Year (2018-2019)

About the Program

The Marketing program is designed to provide students with a well-rounded education in business operations, management techniques, human relations, accounting, and economics with an emphasis in marketing principles, sales, and advertising. To be successful students need basic competence in reading, written and oral communication, and mathematics. Students in this field should possess an interest in working with others, developing business strategies, and responding to today's competitive business environment.

This program is designed to teach students to solve problems, develop marketing strategies, make oral presentations, and write reports such as marketing plans and sales proposals. Marketing skills are useful in many job settings: retail, wholesale, manufacturing, social services, government, and education. These skills also are important for people who wish to improve their performance in existing jobs or develop their own businesses.
