The marketing management program in the Whitman School prepares students to successfully face challenges in today’s diverse and dynamic marketplace: how to understand changing customer needs, what customer segments and global markets to focus on, which products and services to bring to market, how to stimulate demand with persuasive communications, and the best ways to deliver products to customers to build and sustain profitable relationships. In many courses, experiential learning plays an important role with students work in project teams-just as professionals do-to develop strategies for new product development, pricing, promotion, and distribution. Students also learn to strategically prepare for competitive challenges, regulatory changes, and evolving social responsibilities. Marketing graduates are prepared for broad and promising careers in many industries including advertising and digital agencies, consumer packaged goods firms, retail, financial services, consulting, technology, and ecommerce. Recent graduates have found entry-level positions such as account manager, digital marketing assistant, market analyst, media planner, product assistant, assistant brand strategist, social media strategies, sales executive, business development associate, and business consultant.

These jobs require a broad range of abilities that call for analytical and creative and strategic leadership skills.

We strive to educate future marketing management professionals who are enterprising and eager to innovate and take the initiative to thrive in a world that is rapidly transforming to the digital age and can rise to the challenge of a global economy.
