Marketing Certificate

The Scheller College of Business offers a Certificate in Marketing to both Business Administration and Non-business administration majors.

In today's highly competitive business environment, where buyers have a wide range of product choices, it is increasingly important to closely match company capabilities and market opportunities. An understanding of the complex, interdependent nature of the global marketplace and its inherant technologies is essential in managing a market-driven business. Marketing is the activity of business that is primarily responsible for developing the sales revenue of the firm. As such, marketing is concerned with developing new products and services and improving the existing offering to develop a steady and profitable sales stream. There are many supporting activities that have an impact on sales, including personal selling and promotion and developing good trade relationships for which marketing is responsible. The marketing of technology-based products is growing in importance along with international aspects of marketing, and these subjects are addressed.

To qualify for the Marketing Certificate, students must earn at least a "C" in MGT 3300, and must earn a "B" average in MGT 3310 and the three electives.
