To survive and prosper, all organizations need to create value for their customers in order to generate revenue. Marketing is the organizational function responsible for coordinating the value creation process, which means the marketing department leads the revenue-generating function within the organization. All other functions consume organizational resources produced by marketing and support the marketing function. Thus, as a marketing major, you will develop the knowledge and skills to identify marketing opportunities and develop appropriate marketing strategies to profitably pursue those opportunities. At Siena, your courses will expose you to the major concepts, skills, and tools that you’ll need for a career in marketing or for graduate business programs.
