Business Marketing and Management
Experience the world of business in an interactive, self-paced learning environment that promotes a strong sense of self-worth and accountability, and promotes students' creativity. Students go beyond classroom learning and apply their skills to projects, competitions, internships and other real-world opportunities that build experience.
The program teaches students to examine consumer behavior, implement the principles of effective selling, and make strategic business decisions just as they would in the real-world. Students develop the skills to be successful in customer focused careers, in marketing, and in running their own business.
Social media strategies, public relations and promotion tactics are also covered so students learn how to effectively meet needs of customers and ensure businesses make a profit. Projects give students the chance to explore their creativity and develop solutions for problems that come up in a real-world setting.
