design products and services, set prices, determine distribution channels, develop
social media & e-marketing campaigns, develop promotions, and design after-sale customer
service. When all of these elements are correctly mixed, the firm is able to build
long term relationships with its customers. Building on marketing theories and concepts,

services marketing, logistics and supply chain strategies, social marketing media,
sales management, distribution management, consumer behavior, and sports marketing.
Particular emphasis is placed on marketing applications through experiential learning
projects, service-learning experiences, simulations, hands-on projects with local
companies, and semester long internships. Marketing is an exciting, fast-paced, dynamic
field that offers career opportunities in e-marketing, marketing research, product
design, retail and wholesale management, distribution, sales, sports marketing, sales
