Marketing
Did you know that approximately one-third of the
U.S. labor force uses skills directly related to
marketing in their jobs? That's why majoring in
marketing might be just the thing for you. As a
marketing major, you will be introduced to a common
body of business knowledge followed by marketing
specialty courses that include contemporary subjects
like business-to-business marketing, direct marketing,
ethics and services marketing.
You may
also travel abroad for course credit in international
marketing to countries like England, Ireland and
Hong Kong.
Courses in marketing are treated in a practical
manner, applying concepts to "real world" situations.
When you complete the curriculum you will have
a thorough understanding of marketing and will
also be equipped with skills that employers now
demand from college graduates including: applying
technology, assuming leadership, making decisions
and working in teams. In addition, you can also
explore the broad spectrum of marketing activities
through electives that include advertising, retailing
and logistics. Our faculty assist students in
designing their course of study in an effort to
match career goals with the appropriate electives
needed to specialize in a particular area.

Computer Science Major
The Department of Management, Marketing, Computer Science and Information
Systems offers a wide range of computer science
courses to support the B.S. degree with a major
in computer science. These courses are designed
to prepare students for computing careers in business,
education, government, and industry. The courses
also provide the foundation for graduate study
in computer science or information systems. The
courses blend theory and practice to prepare the
students for careers in a rapidly changing field.
Employment opportunities in programming and systems
analysis are expected to increase much faster
than the average for other occupations for the
next several years.
Computer Science majors must satisfy the general
education requirements for the appropriate Bachelor
of Science degree. Majors are advised to select
physics as one of the laboratory sciences. If
a student is not prepared to enter calculus as
the first mathematics course, the elective hours
can be used to take college algebra and/or pre-calculus.
There are two B.S. degree options for the computer
science major. Each of these options is based
on a common core of computer science and mathematics
courses.
