Applying theory through practice

To ensure our graduates are ready to take their place in the profession, marketing students are required to complete verified professional and volunteer experience linked to the learning outcomes of the degree. This experience not only puts newly learned skills to work but also expands the students’ professional network and builds confidence. Marketing students have the flexibility to identify and choose the experiences that align with both their professional and personal goals. 

Note: All professional and volunteer experiences will be subject to verification through a student’s professional portfolio. 

For additional information, please review the minimum professional and volunteer experience requirements with the department chair.
