About the Minor


The minor in Marketing is designed to provide majors outside of the SGB with an overview of the marketing discipline. It will enable students to explore various career options within the field of marketing and to use the discipline knowledge to further their career goals within their major. This background is useful for students who will be working in organizational settings, regardless of their majors but might be of particular interest to students pursuing a major in Media & Communication, Psychology, BFA in Studio art with a Graphic Design concentration, etc. or any other majors who might be interested in being entrepreneurs.
