Marketing focuses on the creation and maintenance of exchange relationship. This focus includes topics related to analytics, branding, digital marketing, marketing communications, promotions, marketing research, and sales. Individuals who excel in marketing are creative types who sharpen their skills related to speaking, listening, writing, and critical thinking. The marketing major at Otterbein prepares you for careers in marketing analytics, advertising, marketing research, retail management, sales, and general marketing positions. Marketing majors are strongly encouraged to complete an independent study or research project along with an internship. The curriculum remains flexible enough for you to earn a minor or a second major in another business-related discipline.
