BBA-Marketing Concentration
Marketers are involved in the design, pricing, promotion, and distribution of services and goods. To do these things, a marketer must have an understanding of consumer psychology, the influences of external international forces such as demographics and competition, methods of communicating product value with organizational and final consumers, and the ways in which products components are acquired, assembled, and moved into the possession of final organizational or retail consumers. A marketing degree prepares a student for jobs in fields such as sales, advertising, public relations, retailing, product management, purchasing, marketing research, etc.
