The Marketing Management program at the Whitman School prepares students to successfully face challenges in today’s diverse and dynamic marketplace.  Students learn how to understand changing customer needs and to identify customer segments and develop global markets, how to effectively bring new products and services to market and to stimulate demand with persuasive communications, and how to build and sustain profitable customer relationships.

In most Whitman Marketing courses, experiential learning plays an important role: like marketing professionals, students work in project teams to develop strategies for new product development, pricing, promotion, and distribution.  Students also learn to proactively plan for competitive challenges, regulatory changes, and evolving social responsibilities. 

Our Marketing graduates are well prepared for promising careers in a broad range of industries including advertising and digital communications, consumer packaged goods, retail management, financial services, consulting, technology, and ecommerce. Recent graduates have accepted entry-level positions as account managers, digital marketing assistants, market analysts, media planners, product assistants, assistant brand strategists, social media strategists, sales executives, business development associates, and business consultants.  All of these positions require a broad range of analytical, creative and strategic leadership skills.

The Whitman Marketing faculty strive to educate future Marketing Management professionals who are enterprising and eager to create value through innovation.  In a world rapidly transforming to the digital age, our graduates are ready to take the initiative and thrive in the global marketplace.
