Marketing moves products, services, ideas. Whether it is developing advertisements, promotions or sales programs - for cars, computers, toys, trucks, entertainment, politics, sports or health care - marketing is the common denominator.
If you're excited about jetting to foreign lands for MTV commercial shoots, developing national strategies for new products, writing award-winning advertisements for Rolling Stone or Business Week magazines, negotiating for product placements in multi-million dollar films, or being the lead executive on public relations accounts for rock stars, NFL athletes, or giant software corporations, a marketing concentration from the School of Business and Public Administration at CSUDH may be the professional career track for you.
