K-State Marketing Program
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.
