Welcome to the Department of Marketing

By effectively educating our diverse student population to high standards of performance, we prepare students to become productive leaders in marketing specific disciplines. Students are able to apply their skills and knowledge in marketing to an interactive medium such as the Internet – yet every firm, whether it is a manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler or service provider, needs people skilled in marketing to discover, measure and analyze markets; develop and manage products; create and manage advertising; establish coherent pricing policies; and maintain positive customer relations. Student career development is assisted by a required internship to apply and enhance learning.

Careers

Marketing is a dynamic and exciting field to work in, and a marketing degree from CSUN prepares students for a variety of careers. Graduates can pursue careers focused in digital marketing, social media marketing, advertising, integrated marketing communications, marketing research, marketing metrics and data analytics, marketing management, product management and branding, sales, wholesaling and retailing, communications and public relations, international marketing management, and non-profit marketing.
These would be often considered separate types of jobs.
