In Response to Maggie

Maggie's Question: Since these diverse classes we take (marketing,accounting) are all important, do you think a course like Marketing should have its own Major? Why or Why not?

In my opinion, I do believe that Marketing should have it's own major here at Keene State. Marketing is an important part of any business and it is a big part of our everyday lives. We see advertisements everywhere these days, on TV, the internet, magazines, etc. Marketing is important for companies to educate their consumers about the company and their products. Marketing, because it is so important, should have more than just one or two courses, it should have a full major where artistic and business-oriented students can learn more about how to successfully market their companies and their products.

I was shocked to learn that Keene did not have a major for marketing, due to the fact that it is so vital to any business. It should be taught more thoroughly in schools and should be offered in a variety of courses. 

Would you be inclined to take more marketing classes if it was offered as a major? Why or why not?
