Marketing Minor

Choosing the right minor always benefits you   Sometimes, having the right minor can serve as a sort of tiebreaker between you and an otherwise equally qualified competitor for the same job.  You can choose a minor that seems a natural complement to your major but at the same time doesn’t have too much overlap.  There’s another approach to consider: Pick your minor because of the passion you have for a particular topic of study.  A marketing minor would be useful in a host of careers including sales, advertising, consumer relations, merchandising, brand management, marketing management, marketing research, retailing services, purchasing, business logistics, small business operations, executive management, consulting, business education, or employment in certain government agencies as well as many non-profit organizations.
