Marketing Concentration
In today's society no product, service, or idea can be successful without the creative and innovative support from the marketing department. Marketing involves creating, communicating, and delivering products and services in ways that customers find valuable. It's a functional area that falls between product development and sales. If you are looking for an exciting and challenging career, that is constantly evolving, marketing might be the right choice for you to pursue.
Most entry-level positions for marketing concentrations reside in sales. After gaining experience, sales professionals often move into marketing. A willingness to relocate often opens more career opportunities.
