Marketing Major

Why Study Marketing?

“Marketing majors have diversity of options available to them. From creating content for advertisements to analyzing thousands of data points to understand what consumers want and how much they want it for. Organizations, both public and private, are consistently trying to add value in a fast paced highly digitized world. Marketing majors learn how harness the power of new technologies, analyze big data, and understand consumers.” – Professor Kashef Majid

Courses Within the Marketing Program

Beginning 2015-2016, the College of Business changed its degree program to reflect the addition of majors. Previously, students who completed the program received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, and were able to identify an area of specialization, but not a major. The revised program allows students to major in one of four areas: Accounting, Business Administration, International Business, or Marketing. Under the revised program, students still receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, but have a major specified on their transcripts.
