Marketing

Marketing plays an essential role in any successful organization — connecting a company to its customers. To accomplish this, marketers study consumer behavior, markets and competitors so they can design strategies for product, promotion, pricing and distribution that meet the needs and wants of their customers.

At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, the courses we offer are designed to expose students to the latest concepts and practices across key areas of marketing. In addition to courses covering product development, pricing strategy, advertising and distribution management, course offerings include modern strategies for internet marketing, global marketing and database marketing.
