CSUN MKT & FOX Sports University Team Up
Social Media Marketing
Welcome to the Department of Marketing
By effectively educating our diverse student population to high standards of performance, we prepare students to become productive leaders in marketing specific disciplines. Students are able to apply their skills and knowledge in marketing to an interactive medium such as the Internet – yet every firm, whether it is a manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler or service provider, needs people skilled in marketing to discover, measure and analyze markets; develop and manage products; create and manage advertising; establish coherent pricing policies; and maintain positive customer relations. Student career development is assisted by a required internship to apply and enhance learning.

“Being around that is very inspiring,” said his best friend and fellow CSUN alumnus Kenneth Wynn. “Sometimes it grabs and inspires you (to think), ‘OK, what are you doing?’ But it doesn’t come off with any arrogance or any sort of a pompous attitude.
