Experiential Course

The marketing area puts a special emphasis on the value of learning by doing. Marketing concentrators are encouraged to pursue an “experiential course” that may be counted toward their concentration. These may include:

  • Marketing-related study tour
  • Three-credit marketing-related internship
  • Marketing-related tutorial or independent study

Specializations represent groups of courses that reflect the interests of students pursuing particular careers. They are not formal requirements, but represent the general recommendation of the faculty for pursuing particular career areas.

Students may take any combination of courses that lead to the appropriate number of credits in the concentration.
