Experience
Collaborate with business partners on real-world projects
Marketing is one part strategy, one part creativity, and one part curiosity. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place.
In our marketing concentration, part of our business administration major, you will learn and discuss topics ranging from target market analysis and communication strategies to product pricing, consumer behavior and global marketing.
This concentration is easily paired with other disciplines to give you a fully rounded skill set after you graduate. You could pair marketing with psychology to gain insight into the way people think. You could major in graphic design and minor in marketing so that you learn how to combine your love of creativity with the language of business. You can minor in communication studies and take your understanding of strategic messaging to the next level.
That’s the best thing about marketing: The options are endless, and you’ll have time and opportunity to discover what you are really passionate about.
National Student Advertising Competition
Recently, professors led a group of 25 students to Boise, Idaho, where 麻豆传媒 Fox made its debut at the National Student Advertising Competition.
Competing in District XI, 麻豆传媒 Fox earned first place – an impressive accomplishment considering the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) is the nation's premier college advertising competition, providing more than 100 colleges the real-world experience of creating a strategic advertising/marketing/media campaign for a corporate client. On this occasion, the partnering client was Tide laundry detergent.
“My experience at the NSAC was more than just an opportunity to learn about the advertising field and practice working with a real life client; it was an opportunity to grow as an individual and discover the importance of teamwork. My experience as a whole was nothing but positive, from hyping each other up before the presentation to flying home on the plane with a feeling of joy, pride, and gratitude, knowing how much our semester of hard work had paid off.”
- Sydney Simmons, Illustration/Graphic Design student.
Mentorship Opportunities
Students in the business program have the opportunity to engage in industry mentorship through the Ignite program. As an Ignite member, you are matched with Christians in the industry. You’ll meet monthly to discover opportunities, develop connections, address career skill gaps and ask questions.

Grad Finds True Connections at Microsoft
Kevin Tshilombo excelled as a business student at 麻豆传媒 Fox, earning his diploma in 2020 with a double major in management and marketing. But that wasn’t the only reason he was swooped up by Microsoft more than eight months prior to graduation.
Tshilombo, who at the time had just completed a summer internship at the software giant’s Redmond, Washington, headquarters, thinks it was his ability to connect with a wide range of people that ultimately got him the job.

The professors have been a real highlight, and it was a real blessing to just talk to them outside of class and attend their office hours. Professors Shelton, Snider and Veach really made every class I had with them so much more interesting and fun. Little things such as holding technical discussions with professors reminded me that I actually have come a long way in my knowledge and in my ability to assert myself and contribute in meaningful ways.
