Program Focus
The 72-credit Marketing and Sales Management program is designed
to prepare men and women for mid-management or management
careers in merchandising, retailing, retail sales, sales representation,
advertising, wholesaling, customer service occupations and small
business management, as well as owning and operating their own
business. During the school year, the student has an opportunity
to participate in the marketing club activities. These activities are
comparable to the businessperson’s organizations such as Lions,
Kiwanis, Jaycees, BPW or Chamber of Commerce. Marketing
students are provided with
numerous experiences directly
related to the competitive
business world.
Upon successful completion of
four semesters in the classroom,
students apply for full-time internship for a period of approximately
eight weeks. The students are under the direction of a training
sponsor in an affiliating business firm. This training sponsor is an
experienced professional who instructs the student on the practical
aspects of the business operation. Overall supervision and guidance
of interns is conducted by the Marketing and Sales Management
coordinator. Students have an opportunity to complete their
internship in any community they wish, preferably in Minnesota. |
Qualifications
Marketing and Sales Management students would find it beneficial
to have life or work experiences working with people. In addition,
high school courses in marketing and business subjects would be
helpful but are not required. A prospective enrollee in this program
should like to work with people and have a desire for interesting and
challenging work with responsibility. |
