Marketing - Management AAS Degree

The marketing-management program is designed for men and women who plan employment or promotion within businesses involved in the marketing of goods or services to the public. The two-year program prepares people for positions in such fields as product and production planning, advertising, sales, promotion, retailing, wholesaling, distribution, fashion marketing, consumer research, small business ownership or general business administration. For increased specialization, students can complete two marketing-management internship courses in their second year of study to gain on-the-job experience in their chosen area.

This program has been articulated with some area high schools. Recent high school graduates may have earned credit in this program through high school coursework. Refer to the Dual Credit webpage for more information.
