“The Marketing BBA is a culmination of key topics and digital skills preparing students for today’s new marketing environments. The advantage of them learning digital design, content writing, and business marketing emulates how marketing and advertising firms actually work together. Students will have the benefit of hands-on projects and presentations solving marketing issues, completing market analyses, and developing digital marketing campaigns for business clients.”

“I really like the environment Alfred State provided. Every interaction I had with staff, students, and faculty on campus was positive. Coming from a populated city, I always wanted lesser people in class so I could interact with the teacher more. I can always go into their office hours and talk about any future goals or certifications that I wanted to do.”
