Learn about the Marketing Concentration 

Marketing is the part of the organization that serves as the interface between the firm and its customers. Marketing ensures the firm provides value to the consumer so that it can achieve its share, revenue, and profit objectives. At the broadest level, marketing is responsible for transforming consumer needs into products and services that the firm can offer profitably and for promoting and delivering those offerings to the marketplace. Marketing activities are both strategic and tactical.
