Marketing Major
A WORLD CLASS BBA AT CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY
The basic premise of marketing is "to find a need and meet it." Marketing focuses on exchanging goods, services and ideas. At Concordia, you will learn theory and apply concepts in activities such as story boards, sales presentations, case analysis and marketing plans. Concordia students are actively involved in learning through course facilitation. Classes are focused on active discussion. Studၼents are involved in real-life projects which have included working with the American Red Cross, Amtrak and the Hiawatha Bicycling Club. We also have an active Business and Investment Club.
Our BBA is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs. Our marketing program focuses on global and ethnic issues. We have frequent classroom guest speakers from companies such as: Adobe, Burger King, Minnesota Commissioner of Commerce, J. D. Edwards, Northwest Airlines, People Soft, Target Corporation, Universal Music Group and Wal-Mart. We also take students on trips to companies including: A.C. Nielsen, Fischer Edit, Ford, General Mills, IKEA, Northwest Airlines, Pillsbury and Risdall Advertising.
Employers demand strong oral and written communication skills and special emphasis is placed on preparing students to meet those needs. The marketing program has ongoing relationships with organizations which students are able to take advantage of for service learning experiences, internships and job placement upon graduation.
