Every business needs marketing expertise and people with this capability are in high demand.

Marketing majors will complete 12 credits in core courses in marketing basics, buyer behavior, customer analytics, and strategic marketing. Marketing majors will also take 18 upper-level credits among a selection customized to the area of marketing for which they would like to gain expertise. To further develop your expertise on a career path students may select from one of a series of marketing streams and complete suggested courses leading to an area of specialization. The holistic expertise gained will be highly valuable to future employers.

Earning a minor in marketing is an ideal choice for students who wish to acquire a marketing mindset which is a valuable tool to offer your business or future employer.
