About
The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that jobs for marketing professionals can grow as much as 23% by 2010! In a recent survey by the Institute for International research, marketing was the #1 most critical area of expertise for the next generation of business leaders (cited by 31% as the business skill of the future.)
Marketing is critical to the success of every organization— whether large or small, profit or nonprofit, product- or service-oriented. All organizations must identify and research target markets; determine customer needs; and establish how products and services can most effectively be created, distributed, priced and promoted. Course formats include 16-week, 8-week, online, and hybrid options. Choose from a unique menu of options to meet your work and life schedule!
