Marketing Major Through Iowa Valley Community College District

Marketing is one of six undergraduate majors in the top-ranked Tippie College of Business. As a marketing student, you’ll study the business, social, and economic roles of marketing. Marketing has expanded in recent years from a focus on consumer or business products to the arts, sports, and social programs. In addition, marketers are not exclusively involved with sales and marketing decision-making; your major courses will teach you communication, behavioral sciences, statistical analysis, and computer methods.
