Bachelor of Science in Business - Marketing
The Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB) undergraduate degree program is designed to prepare graduates with the requisite knowledge, skills, and values to effectively apply various business principles and tools in an organizational setting. The BSB foundation is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practical application, while examining the areas of accounting, critical thinking and decision-making, finance, business law, management, marketing, research and evaluation, and technology. Students are required to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the undergraduate business curricula through an integrated topics course. Special emphasis is placed on critical business threads throughout the program, which include: globalization, innovation, ethics, technology, diversity, collaboration, and e-business.
The Marketing Concentration addresses how to identify customer needs, how to communicate information about products and services to customers and potential customers, where to market, the pricing of products and services, and how to respond to growing demands in different countries and cultures. The marketing concentration builds upon the foundational marketing course, which allows further study in the areas of consumer behavior, advertising, marketing research, public relations, and international marketing. Marketing managers need creative, analytical, and leadership abilities to manage the marketing function of the business enterprise.
In the Marketing Concentration, 18 credit hours are required. Students must successfully complete three required courses: MKT/438 (Public Relations), MKT/441 (Marketing Research) and MKT/498 (Integrated Marketing Strategies). Students must also complete three additional business elective courses (9-credit hours) within the Marketing concentration. All courses in the marketing concentration have prerequisite requirements, specifically MKT/421 (Marketing). In addition to the required course of study, students must satisfy General Education and Elective requirements to meet the 120 (124 for Kansas) semester credit minimums required for completion of the degree.
