Bachelor of Marketing (B.Sc)

at Providence College

Marketing is an art and a science, and students in PC’s Department of Marketing are empowered to excel in both. Of course, they learn theoretical concepts and acquire the tools and analytical skills they need to succeed. But they also learn to think critically about the impact of marketing on global society. Through engaging, hands-on learning opportunities and the diverse perspectives they encounter in their core classes, our students gain confidence that sets them apart. In turn, they’re able to market what is  most important: themselves.Marketing costs absorb about half of each buyer’s dollar, with its activities being performed in both business and nonprofit organizations, and on both a domestic and international stage. Marketing activities help businesses generate profits and help fuel the global economy. New technology has dramatically expanded marketers’ ability to connect with customers and socially responsible marketing can promote the welfare of consumers and society.

Marketing involves an examination of the exchange processes by which consumers and organizations satisfy their wants and needs. Thus it requires an understanding of consumer behavior, motivation of sales personnel, the impact of advertising and promotion on potential consumers, cultural differences in the global marketplace, market research techniques, and the role of marketing on the Internet.
