Marketing Minor, B.A.; B.A.A.; B.F.A.; B.S.; B.S. in B.A.

The minor in Marketing is designed for students who plan a career closely allied to marketing, but do not intend to work in marketing itself. Examples of such careers include broadcasting, commercial art, journalism, human environmental studies, or a related business area. The marketing minor provides an overview of the marketing process but does not deal with all of the analytical and managerial skills necessary for success in marketing. The student will be exposed to both the process of stimulating and satisfying demand through the marketing process. Students should not expect that the marketing minor will make them competitive with marketing majors for marketing positions in industry.
