Bachelor of Science - Business Administration - Marketing

Marketing is an extremely broad field encompassing a range of business activities that have been estimated to account for approximately 45 percent of Gross National Product (GNP). It involves such matters as the search for new product opportunities, product development and management, distribution, advertising and promotion, sales, sales management and post-sale activities. People employed in advertising (agencies, clients, broadcast and print media), research firms, wholesalers, retailers, logistics and transportation firms of every kind are part of the marketing segment of the economy.

Every firm, whether it is a manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler or service provider, needs marketing people to discover, measure and analyze markets; develop and manage products and services; manage storage and distribution; create and manage advertising, promotion and sales; establish coherent pricing policies; and maintain positive customer relations.

The Marketing degree gives students the opportunity to gain quantitative and qualitative skills in the field. Moreover, there is sufficient flexibility in programs to allow students to seek additional courses to fit their needs and interests in areas outside of marketing.
