By focusing in greater depth in such marketing areas, Fisher students will differentiate themselves from graduates of other programs.

The Marketing program will provide students with a solid core in marketing problem solving and analytics which are applicable in any marketing career. Through a mix of theory, case studies, and practice, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to take on a critical role in any marketing environment.
