Marketing, Undergraduate Certificate

Students who complete a marketing certificate will be able to apply  knowledge of basic marketing concepts to a wide variety of business situations in sales, services, non-profit or for-profit organizations. Additionally, the concepts provided in the certificate will allow students to supplement non-marketing degrees with a thorough knowledge of marketing and an understanding of how marketing relates to their chosen degree.

Marketing enables a business or individual to identify the needs of customers and ultimately provide and communicate the benefits of a product, service or idea for purchase or acceptance. Marketing skills may be applied in all types of organizations including non-profits.
