Marketing is a core element of all organizations, and opportunities exist across all industry sectors - private, public and non-profit. Adding the Marketing emphasis to your management major deepens your understanding of and access to areas like media, advertising, and public relations. This knowledge may be useful for positions outside of marketing, including event organizing, fundraising, lobbying, and research. Moreover, employers seek out employees with critical-thinking skills, good decision-making capabilities, and strong leadership skills, all elements of a degree at WVPU.
