Marketing Concentration

Bachelor of Business Administration

A company could have the best product in the world, but without an effective marketing plan, even a five-star item can go unnoticed and fail. With Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK's BBA with a marketing concentration, you'll learn how to:

  • Identify your target audience and shape your product’s message to target their needs
  • Develop products and services to fill that need
  • Spark awareness and interest in your target audiences.

We prepare our graduates to contribute to the corporate, entrepreneurial, nonprofit, and public sectors with a broad range of tools developed in the classroom and in hands-on internships.

It’s easier to network here than at a larger university. You also get to know your professors and benefit from their resources and experiences, which can help you find opportunities in the community. I want to especially recognize Stacy Bosley. She is so wonderful and so hands-on with her approach, which made me feel supported as a student.
