Department of Marketing

The department is located on the third floor of the College of Business Administration Building. The department consists of 17 faculty members who have accumulated many years of teaching experience. All of our marketing courses are taught by faculty members, not teaching assistants. Besides teaching expertise, the faculty members have distinguished themselves by publishing books and journal articles, by doing community service, and by their consulting and business experience. Augmenting the full-time faculty are a few highly qualified business professionals/executives who teach courses on a part-time basis.

The Department of Marketing is host to three student organizations: Pi Sigma Epsilon, Mu Kappa Tau and the International Business Association. Membership in PSE and IBA is not limited to marketing or international business majors. These organizations help to develop leadership, teamwork and interpersonal skills. They plan and carry out a number of real world projects every semester, and function just like small businesses. The PSE chapter is nationally recognized as exceptional. Our chapter was national chapter of the year in 1992, and has been ranked among the top chapters in the country for the past 17 years.
