Program Description
Marketing is a fast-paced field of study that offers the opportunity to work in many different industries. Marketing is often described as the “face” of a firm, but in reality, marketing goes much deeper. It is the core of any organization that is able to successfully interact with entities outside the organization. The Business Administration: Marketing Management provides the background for careers in sales, advertising, marketing management, research, analysis, and retail management. Marketing topics include researching and analyzing consumers, market demand, pricing, product distribution, and development, and communication in order to develop marketing strategies and policies.
