Why Major in Marketing?
Careers in marketing are growing at a much more rapid rate than those in other occupational categories. There is a strong demand for employees in fields applying marketing principles including manufacturing, technology and service firms, non-profit organizations, and advocacy campaigns. Through classroom activities and internship experiences, students are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to obtain well paying positions or to continue their studies for an MBA or similar degree.
“The marketing major at Eastern prepared me in countless ways for my professional career and my personal growth. I am filled with gratitude for the professors and mentors who invested significant time and care to assure I was equipped with all the tools and support I needed to be successful.”
