Marketing, B.S. Advertising and Social Media Track Curriculum Guide (Suggested 4-Year Plan of Study)
The marketing - advertising and social media track prepares students for entry into a variety of marketing and advertising careers. While marketing skills are applicable in virtually all types of organizations, this track is especially designed for those students who want to specialize in advertising and social media marketing.
The undergraduate marketing curriculum consists of a lower-division (pre-professional) core, upper-division (professional) core, special requirements and marketing major requirements. The pre-professional curricular requirements enable majors to acquire a common body of knowledge essential to successful completion of the professional program coursework.
Marketing Policies & Procedures
-
A student with an intended marketing major will be classified in a pre-professional track until the student has applied to and been accepted in the marketing B.S. major.
-
Marketing majors must submit applications for admission to the Professional Program. No marketing student will be allowed to remain in 300/400 level Perdue School courses if s/he has not submitted this application.
-
Marketing requirements (3 courses), Track electives (5 courses) and marketing internships (1 course) need to be completed with grades of C or better. In addition, all marketing majors need to complete MKTG 330 with a grade of C or better.
