Business Administration Major: Concentration in Marketing
As a business administration major, you can select marketing as a concentration (other areas of concentration include finance, international business, and management).
A Place for Creative & Strategic Thinkers
No matter what its size, a firm must constantly track consumers, monitor the economic and sales environment, and keep an eye on the competition. If you’re curious about what makes people tick and want more in-depth exposure to the dynamic process of marketing that blends creativity, strategizing, analysis, and communication, consider choosing marketing as an area of concentration in our business administration program. Learn how to help a business acquire and retain customers for products and services. Then apply your knowledge and gain experience through internships and study abroad.

The greatest benefit of my Truman education was the access to professors. Not only did they mentor me during my time as a Truman student, but they continued to do so as I applied for graduate studies.
