Marketing professionals drive organizational success for corporations and non-profits by translating customer desires into effective strategies. Students learn to assess market opportunities, segment target markets, and create strategies and tactics that help achieve organizational goals. They build a solid business foundation and develop skills across the spectrum of marketing activity, from research, through strategy development and planning, sales, digital marketing and social media, and persuasive communication across media platforms. Through a busy, student-run agency, students work on a wide range of projects which they ultimately pitch to the clients for possible implementation.
Entry-level positions for graduates may include marketing coordinator, social media specialist, sales representative, and similar roles within a range of corporate settings, agencies, and non-profit sectors including the arts, education and health, and charitable organizations. Career pathways for marketing professionals may lead to executive-level positions or self-employment in a consulting capacity.
