Marketing majors learn skills and knowledge relevant to the co-creation of goods, services, and ideas that uniquely meet the needs and wants of global customer markets and society at large. Career opportunities exist in marketing management, advertising, market research, promotion management, sales and sales management, social media, distribution management, and retailing. The major is designed to allow a great deal of choice so students may emphasize any combinations of these areas.

Available courses include:

Most marketing majors enter into careers in business firms, although some find job opportunities in governmental and other nonprofit organizations.
