Marketing - Major/Minor
For information, contact Gaetan T. Giannini, MBA.
The mission of the marketing degree program at Cedar
Crest College is to prepare students for a career as a leader of marketing
departments and organizations through well rounded exposure to rigorous
study of marketing theory and hands-on, practical experience in the
combined areas of creativity, public relations, promotions, direct
marketing, branding, advertising, sales management, international commerce,
marketing planning, and effective implementation.
The program will provide the student with a solid,
core business education that includes accounting, finance, economics,
business writing, law, and management curriculum. A graduate of the
program will understand the workings of any business entity, and understand
the complexities of the greater economic environment. A critical
component of this program is the student’s strong foundation in the
liberal arts. Marketing is the science and practice of creating personal or
mass relationships that influence people and organizations to change or
maintain certain behaviors. This program requires students have a
broad base of knowledge of the human experience, critical thinking skills,
and the ability to interact with others on a meaningful and ethical level.
