Bachelor of Arts - Bachelor of Science
Marketing is one of the most rapidly growing areas of business, social service, and government practice. Today, marketing is recognized as a fundamental activity of both profit, and not-for-profit organizations. Typical marketing related activities include the planning and development of new products and services, organizing and managing distribution and sales channels for goods and services, the development of advertising programs, identification of potential target markets and the needs and wants of potential customers, and coordination of promotional, sales, and production efforts to assure profitable and cost-effective operations and long-term customer and client satisfaction.
As a field of specialization, marketing prepares students for careers in such areas as corporate product management, retail, wholesale, and industrial sales, advertising, market research, and international marketing.
The marketing major at Aurora University provides students with a firm foundation in the core business disciplines through key required courses in accounting, economics, finance, management, and business policy. Depth in marketing is achieved through required courses in marketing management and market research and elective courses related to sales management, promotion, consumer behavior, and advertising. In addition, students oriented toward careers in creative advertising are encouraged to explore opportunities for a minor in the fields of communication and art.
