With a marketing major and professional sales concentration at Grace, you’ll be equipped for the four main sectors of traditional and digital marketing: product development, pricing, distribution, and promotion. You’ll learn to apply your education to make wise, effective business decisions.
At Grace College, we believe that the purpose of business is to serve God through serving others. You’ll learn to market with respect and integrity, not manipulation and deception. Know that while you’ll be prepared to navigate the business world as it is, our highest priority is to train principled professionals with hearts centered on God.
Marketing is a quickly evolving field, and that’s why our faculty consistently updates course content with the latest research and trends. You can expect dynamic, hands-on classes full of real-world examples and applications in our program.
You’ll complete both core business classes and marketing-specific courses throughout the degree. Your core courses will provide a foundation in business principles, such as management, economics, finance, and international business. Your concentration will determine your marketing courses. As a hybrid program, there will be a combination of on-campus classes and online courses that are offered through a national consortium of accredited institutions.
A professional sales concentration will train you to develop business relationships with other organizations and individuals in the workplace. Your courses will emphasize sales management, professional relationships, and effective communication and negotiation.
There’s no education like hands-on learning, so you’ll also complete an internship experience. Local businesses in a variety of industries, such as food, retail, and entertainment, regularly request Grace interns. You may even work in our own award-winning marketing department!
When you graduate with a marketing professional sales degree, you’ll be prepared to use your education in each marketing sector, working in areas such as sales, management, SEO, public relations, copywriting, social media, inbound marketing, and a variety of other positions that require a thorough understanding of marketing.
