Amazing stories from marketing majors
One of the most valuable parts of getting an education is gaining transferable skills. While pursuing my degree in marketing at UAA, I gained hands-on experience developing marketing plans and pitching those ideas to real businesses, conducting focus groups and creating content that's communicable and visually pleasing. All of these hands-on experiences left me with skills that I have already put into practice, less than a year after graduating.
