Marketing majors choose courses to prepare themselves for careers in marketing fields that range from product management, advertising, sales and account management to retailing, e-business, distribution management, and strategic marketing planning in entrepreneurial, corporate, or not-for-profit organizations.

Our students are expected to engage with the marketplace. Enhancing corporate competitiveness and delivering customer value is the starting goal for faculty and students in the Marketing Major. Consumer behavior, market segmentation, products as solutions, pricing, and brand strategy are taught with innovation and application. Sidhu Marketing Majors get much more than a classroom education - they partner with area businesses and organizations to deliver value for our community.

Many students participate in consulting projects through the Wilkes Small Business Development Center. Students are also invited to demonstrate their skills by participating in national competitions such as Collegiate Effie Challenges.
