Major in Marketing at K-State

Marketing

Marketing is a broad, dynamic field with many interesting opportunities. Our students learn not only in the classroom settings, but also through internship and co-op opportunities, by touring corporations, and exposure to visiting marketing executives. Quality education and real-world experience prepare our students for exciting and rewarding careers in marketing.

With business becoming increasingly competitive, marketing has become more important than ever before. Marketing involves

  • determining consumer needs,
  • translating those needs into products and services, and
  • selling them in a highly competitive global marketplace.

It requires analytical skills, as well as intuition, logic, and creativity.
