Marketing Concentration

Successful companies are built on the skills of their marketing teams. By focusing your business studies in marketing, you’ll mesh your creative bent and analytical stills to discover and meet customer needs. Courses spanning from creative writing to computer programming will prepare you for the gamut of marketing careers. And you’ll simulate real-world challenges by developing mock campaigns for new products from start to finish—including competitor and consumer behavior research, customer engagement strategies, pricing and advertising.

Gordon's broad liberal arts context will equip you for all those tasks and teach you how to manage your career in an ever-changing environment.
