Through the JAVĿ¼ marketing program, you will gain comprehensive knowledge about buyer behavior, examine best practices regarding ways to gather and analyze market information, and learn how to communicate and build relationships with customers.

In true interdisciplinary fashion—which is a hallmark of a JAVĿ¼ education—the program offers advertising and public relations classes through the Media and Communication Department.

Program Overview

The curriculum for JAVĿ¼'s marketing program consists largely of courses in accounting, finance, management, and, of course, marketing.
