Sales and Marketing Essentials*

Description
The concentration in sales and marketing essentials offers a set of courses that cover essential marketing knowledge in a wide variety of marketing application domains. While students are required to enroll in two fundamental courses in marketing (Essentials of Marketing and Essentials of Selling), students can then choose four other courses from a larger set (services marketing, business marketing, global marketing, sports business and advertising) to tailor their concentration to their particular interests. While some courses are offered in a face-to-face setting, the entire concentration is offered online for flexibility and convenience. Students may not pair the Sales and Marketing Essentials concentration with the Business or Small Business concentrations.
