Align your personal and professional goals with your coursework by choosing from two tracks: marketing management and professional selling. Each provides you with the hands-on training and knowledge needed to succeed in the industry.

Marketing Management Track
Gain the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in entry-level positions in marketing management, product/brand management, or positions in retail, sales, market research or promotion.

Professional Selling Track
