Marketing Minor

The Marketing Minor provides any student who is interested in marketing with a solid foundation in the principles of marketing management and understanding the needs of the customer. The specific concepts covered include new product development, marketing communications and promotions, managing customer relationships, and analyzing consumer and market trends. Students will also gain insights into the value organizations create for their customers, and opportunities and threats in the global marketplace. In the required courses, students explore fundamental marketing principles and learn about the voice of the consumer and customer behavior. In the elective courses, students can tailor their focus with a variety of specialized topics. The knowledge and skills gained through this minor can complement the student’s coursework in a wide range of academic disciplines.
