Marketing, B.S.

What Will I Learn?

A Bachelor of Science in Marketing builds a solid core of business courses embedded in the program.

You will study:

  • Principles of ethical marketing
  • Social media
  • Sales and advertising
  • Strategic thinking and leadership
  • Community-minded service and moral standards

My favorite thing about Roberts was the community. You get to grow with a great group of professors and students throughout your time at Roberts who support you and want you to succeed.
Besides that, I was able to play the sport I love at a highly competitive level and was backed by all of my business professors.
