Marketing, B.S. Curriculum Guide (Suggested 4-Year Plan of Study)
The marketing major prepares students for entry into a variety of marketing and business careers. Marketing provides products-goods, services and ideas-to satisfy customer needs. Through the marketing process, organizations determine what products they will offer, communicate information about their products, establish prices for their products, and make their products available when and where customers want them.
Marketing courses help prepare students to work in areas such as advertising, sales, market research, product planning, purchasing, transportation and public relations. Marketing skills are applicable in virtually all types of organizations.
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.
