Program Description
In the professional sales program at Central Michigan University, students will have hands-on experience with personal selling through the school's partnership with Carew International, one of the top 10 sales training firms in the United States. Students will earn certification in professional selling, advanced positional selling/pathway to negotiations and enterprise selling. They will be exposed to key sales components through the same training received by Fortune 500 companies such as John Deere, Dow Corning, Coca Cola and International Paper. As CMU sales students, they’ll join the 100 percent of alumni who have secured full-time positions within three months of completing their undergraduate career — 90 percent of whom had a job at graduation. CMU students win national and regional sales competitions, with most recent honors being first place at the Pi Sigma Epsilon (national sales fraternity) competitions in 2013 and 2014, wins at four regional sales competitions, and a top-five placement at the National Collegiate Sales Competition. CMU has been recognized by the Sales Education Foundation for having one of the top U.S. sales programs for the last five years.
