Marketing students are required to complete courses in consumer behavior, marketing research, marketing management as well as one other marketing elective. In addition, students will participate in several service-learning projects throughout the marketing curriculum solving real-world problems for local businesses and/or nonprofit organizations in the community. As a result, marketing students will develop their conceptual, analytical, creative, communication, and leadership skills and abilities which will prepare them for first-level positions in marketing and enable them to fulfill their academic and/or professional endeavors in life.
