Marketing affects us every day of our lives. A field devoted to promoting an organization’s goods and services to potential customers, marketing helps deliver to average consumers a standard of living that would have been inconceivable to previous generations.

Majoring in marketing can lead to a personally satisfying and financially rewarding career in the fields of marketing, sales, or sales management. The marketing curriculum merges marketing theory with real-world practice to prepare students for working with either for-profit or nonprofit organizations. Students may choose a general program of study or one of the specialized marketing tracks including marketing communications, retail management, or professional selling.

Business majors must meet the Coles College Sophomore GPA Requirement. In addition, Business majors must earn a grade of “C” or better in the major field courses that constitute the lower Division Major Requirements (lower division business core) and the Upper Division Major Requirements (including upper division business core courses, information technology requirement, major field requirements, and major field electives).
