Marketing
The distribution of goods and services is one of the fastest growing business fields in the nation. It is especially appropriate for alert, vigorous individuals who are capable of bringing new ideas and talents to a dynamic and diversified business establishment. Career possibilities include employment as a marketing trainee, marketing research assistant, advertising assistant, customer relations representative, or sales representative.
Can students who major in Marketing transfer to a four-year college or university?
Many colleges and universities will apply the courses taken toward a bachelor's degree. Students should meet with an academic advisor for appropriate planning.
What will students learn by studying Marketing?

Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major?
