Marketing, Minor

The marketing minor at Saint Louis University's Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business equips students with the ability to understand customers, shape demand and communicate value in a dynamic marketplace.

Designed to complement a wide range of majors, the minor allows students to tailor their studies to their interests while gaining insight into how organizations attract, engage and retain customers. The result is a versatile foundation in marketing that enhances career readiness across industries. Students are required to take MKT 3000 Introduction to Marketing Management (3 cr) and then select four additional courses from the marketing curriculum. Through focused coursework, students develop practical skills in areas such as branding, digital and social media strategy, and market research and analysis.

The marketing minor is also available for students studying at Saint Louis University-Madrid.

Continuation Standards

Students must maintain a minimum 2.00 grade point average (GPA) in all courses used to fulfill minor requirements.

The marketing minor at SLU-Madrid is designed to provide business and non-business students the opportunity for exposure to a broad collection of areas within the marketing field.

This flexibility allows students to customize their marketing minor to include the areas that interest them most, given course availability, making the marketing minor a valuable compliment to any business or nonbusiness major.
