Management/Marketing Department

Our Department offers majors and minors in Marketing, Entrepreneurship, & Management. The department has nationally recognized centers which sponsor several real-world competitions for students as part of our experiential learning emphasis across the curriculum. For example, our Talarico Center for Professional Selling trains and sponsors students to compete (and win) sales competitions around the U.S. This state-of-the-art center provides students with hands-on experience coupled with real-world feedback from working professionals. And, the Center is one of only 70 programs on the Sales Education Foundation‘s List of the Top University Programs in the U.S. All marketing majors also complete a ‘capstone’ experience that focuses on a project presented by a real client – with the results presented to company executives at the end of the term. Our faculty is active and collegial, and collaboration is encouraged and rewarded. Please visit our website to learn more about the department and School of Business.
