Marketers facilitate the exchange of goods, services, and ideas, which is fundamental to the success of all organizations. They work for all kinds of businesses, non-profit organizations, and government. Recent graduates of the marketing program have careers working for advertising agencies, market research firms, sports teams and leagues, government agencies financial services, consumer goods manufacturers, health care organizations, retail stores, and diverse service-oriented firms.
