The marketing major forms the basis for management and operational careers in marketing management, advertising, market research, sales and sales management, transportation and physical distribution management, and retailing. The major is designed to allow a great deal of choice so the student may emphasize any one of these areas.

Most marketing majors enter into careers in business firms, although some find job opportunities in governmental and other nonprofit organizations. Still others become involved in owning and managing their independent companies. Opportunities in entrepreneurship and small business are expanding at a rapid pace.

Every candidate for this degree must fulfill the following requirements in addition to the requirements for admission to the major and the upper-division core courses (see above).
