Department Requirements
The Department of Marketing’s retention policy is competitive based on a student’s overall GPA
and satisfactory completion of UBUS 310 as evidenced by a grade of C or better. To graduate as
a marketing major, a student must earn a grade of at least C in each required MKTG course.
All marketing majors must satisfactorily complete a portfolio of a selected collection of their
marketing assignments to be turned in no later than the last week of classes in the semester that
they graduate. Instructions for portfolio content may be found in the Department of Marketing.
To graduate….
Rationale: Portfolios provide students with an opportunity to reflect on their academic growth and show evidence
of mastery of marketing concepts and skills. This evidence, presented to prospective employers, makes students
more competitive in the job market. The portfolio also provides the department with an assessment tool to evaluate
its level of success in teaching learning outcomes.
