The Department of Marketing offers a minor in marketing that provides a broader understanding of the customer experience that is critical to companies today. The minor core course provides a strong foundation in understanding the value of a customer-centered focus, in understanding the decision process, and in understanding how to develop a marketing strategy for better marketing performance. The electives offer the opportunity to continue strengthening the ability to think strategically, creatively, and analytically to make decisions with a deeper understanding of stages of the customer journey.
Due to limited number of seats, the minor is initially open only to Business students with Junior standing in Fall 24 via an online application process through the Marketing Department. The declaration of the minor requires admission via this application process (please see details and form in the dropdown below).
