Marketing

Why choose marketing at North Central College?

The unusual breadth and depth of our marketing major means you can spend your North Central years either focusing on a single aspect of marketing or exploring its many facets. Whatever path you choose, we know you won’t master the field by simply reading about it—that’s why we enrich your studies with real-world projects (like creating promotional plans for business partners in the community) and by encouraging you to put your skills to the test by joining our award-winning American Marketing Association or Students In Free Enterprise teams.

You can also:

Learn from full-time faculty members with first-hand knowledge of best practices in marketing.
Join the campus chapter of Mu Kappa Tau, the marketing honor society.
Find competitive internships and job opportunities through faculty and alumni networks or through our Career Development Center.

Miranda Wise

Marketing

“I love being so close to downtown Naperville and the train station so I can take frequent trips to Chicago. I also enjoy North Central’s smaller class sizes. It makes it easier to build relationships with my professors,” says Miranda.

Marketing has proven to be a good fit for Miranda. “I learned I have a knack for connecting with people and showing them the benefits of a product, which lines up with marketing.” Her work as publicity chair for the Cardinal Union Activities Board, which organizes most of the events for students, and her involvement in the American Marketing Association have complemented her marketing classes. She landed an internship in Chicago with Mojo Spa, creator of homemade bath and beauty products, and plans to work in sales or the clothing industry.

Miranda credits North Central’s Career Development Center for “helping me understand expectations and responsibilities. They coached me in creating a resume, using online resources and preparing for interviews.”

Allison Paschold

Marketing major

Allison conducted the ultimate "taste test." With the help of North Central’s Career Development Center she obtained two summer internships. One involved working in production and design at Sourcebooks, Inc., a publishing company; the other required serving as an events and promotion intern at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium. "Both experiences were valuable and helped me decide what to look for in my career,” she says. "I broadened my background and got a taste of two different fields, both related to marketing/advertising in a sense."
