Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.)

Marketing Management (MKMN)

Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences

The Marketing Management major is interdisciplinary, follows a liberal educatI on philosophy, and is built on our Department's long standing expertise in the field of consumer research. Therefore, the courses to be followed span departments and colleges across the University and are designed to support the University's learning objectives.

The Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies recognizes that we are not only responsible for preparing students for a career in marketing but for educating them so that they can be active, engaged citizens. This can only result from a balanced curriculum of marketing and liberal education courses capable of providing students with an understanding of the world they will work and live in, and the problem solving, communication, and visualization skills needed to function effectively in it. Therefore, as students learn about the management and leadership of product and services marketing in a global economy, they will be prepared to work and live effectively in today's world and to be flexible enough to pursue a variety of marketing career paths and diverse leadership roles. The major is administered by the Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies in the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences. Students can contact the B.Comm. Program Counsellors or the Faculty Advisors if they have questions.
