Business
and Marketing
Overview
The computer explosion of the '80s and '90s has proliferated business and
marketing careers. Literally millions of new job opportunities are available
that were never possible before. Not only have new careers been created,
but also every phase of the existing business and marketing pathway has
been adapted or upgraded.
A major thrust is on information
and analysis processing. Now with state-of-the-art technology, such as
fax machines, modems, E-mail, voice mail and call waiting, information
can be processed across the office or across the country in seconds. Businesses
can track railroad cars and mail deliveries and have accurate inventories
and data analysis as never before. This same data analysis can be used
in marketing products and ideas.
The business and marketing
programs provide you with the latest technology and opportunities to develop
background knowledge. The knowledge and the skills learned in the indicated
courses will enable you to pursue a career in this pathway.
