Marketing Management

Marketing is fundamental to all profit and non-profit organizations. From connecting with your customer to competing in a global marketplace, a degree in marketing opens students up to a wide range of career possibilities applicable to any industry.

With a major in Marketing Management, you will learn how to conduct effective market research and analyze data, manage promotional activities and formulate brand strategies, use consumer behavior theories to better connect with consumers, create new products from idea formation to execution, and formulate effective digital communication strategies.

Outstanding Student

Sahila Shah '23

When Sahila started her summer wealth management internship with Wells Fargo, she was nervous. As a marketing student, she’d never worked in finance before and had doubts about how she would adapt to an unfamiliar field. She quickly came to realize her business education at Pacific — and unique perspective as first-generation, Pakistani American student — enabled her to think outside the box and make valuable contributions to the company.

Alumni Success

Alex Gerberick ’17

"I never had a specific company I wanted to work for but knew I wanted to market a product I believe in.
I applied for countless internships to get experience under my belt before graduation. With guidance from the ESB Career Management Center, I narrowed my search to boutique wineries in my hometown, landing an internship that became a full-time role after graduation. My studies at Pacific, relations with faculty, and that first job, plus a lot of hard work, led me to my dream job as Senior Marketing Coordinator for the Duckhorn Portfolio – the number one luxury wine company in America."
