Learn How to Sell Your Vision to the World

Prepare to influence behaviors of millions through your Business Marketing expertise.

As competition is so fierce and globalization has made the world flat in terms of commerce, how companies market has become more and more sophisticated. It's no longer just about breaking through the clutter. It's about data and measurable analytics. More than just communicating with consumers, it's about developing tactical and strategic relationships with customers. At the Business School, you will gain a strong foundation in many critical areas of marketing and have the opportunity to pursue specialized paths in line with your interests.

Why Marketing?

Marketing is about understanding, creating, developing, communicating and delivering "value" through the market mechanism of business. It is an art and science that positions companies and their products so that markets buy their "stuff." It integrates with all aspects of a business, from product development to distribution to pricing to selling and promotions.

The World Needs Marketing Majors

There is not a company or organization in the environment that does not market their products or services—even when they tell you they don't "market." Companies need marketing expertise if they wish to compete; and as someone who understands marketing and its potential, you will bring measurable value to an organization. Marketing serves as an integral function in the organization, as it connects and liaises with several other functional domains to link supply and demand facets.
