Business administration major—marketing

A company could have the best product in the world, but without a marketing plan, even a five-star item can fail. With Hamline's marketing concentration, you'll learn the diversity of ways people perceive and satisfy their needs, develop products and services to fill that need, and spark awareness and interest in your target audiences. We prepare our graduates to contribute to the corporate, entrepreneurial, nonprofit, and public sectors with a broad range of tools developed in the classroom and in hands-on internships.
