Welcome
Background
The U.S. population continues to diversify at an unprecedented pace. In order to achieve success in this heterogeneous society, marketers need both business acumen and cultural sensitivity. DePaul’s marketing department has responded by creating the Multicultural Marketing Program. This program provides a business education that leverages students’ connection to their own cultural communities. Graduates of our program can help companies reach diverse communities of consumers.
Description
The Multicultural Marketing Program is a special concentration in the marketing major. The program is designed to prepare undergraduate students to identify, target and communicate to the increasingly fragmented marketplace, starting with the Hispanic market. Students learn how to identify opportunities and to choose the best strategies and tactics to address those opportunities.The curriculum includes courses in integrated marketing communication for multicultural markets, marketing across cultures and business communication. A minor is available for students from across the university who are interested in learning how to deal with an increasingly diverse and global business environment. The program is designed to be relevant, disciplined and practical.
Benefits of the Program
