About Marketing

Sound marketing is critical to the success of every type of organization, including business-to-consumer companies, business-to-business companies, consumer goods and service companies, as well as non-profit organizations and entrepreneurs. The Marketing minor complements several major areas of study including (but not limited to): Management, Business Analytics, Economics, Public Relations, Graphic Design, Fashion Merchandising, Tourism and Travel, Organizational Communication, Sociology, Psychology, or Statistics. Students who study marketing can pursue a variety of career paths including those related to branding, strategy, consumer/marketing research, consumer experience, promotion, channel and sales management.
