Mobile Marketing/Social Media Updated Sept 24, 2014

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY: SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT2014 PRESENTED TO MKT 602 CLASSDR. MARY BETH MCCABE

Why do we need to understand Mobile/Social?

Business has changed so that the customer is in charge of the marketing messages which are seen now.

2/3 of current marketers do not have a solid comprehension of mobile marketing (July 2013 IBM study)

Business needs to understand their customer’s experience from an online perspective, with a focus on mobile marketing.

They all agreed that mobile/social technology is now critical to their business objectives.

We at National University can teach students like you to be prepared for these and future business changes due to our accessible model of education and learning.

Who will do well in this program?

This graduate level AOS is suited well for the “typical” NU student in mid-career, non-traditional and accelerated learning savvy.

Your undergraduate degree can be in the technical or non-technical field. This is a business program, but it is not heavily in the area of math or computer programming.

Students with good writing and analysis skills will do well here.

Students who are self motivated and organized will complete this work with success and are most likely to earn high grades.

What are the pre-reqs?

There are no pre-reqs, but students will need to complete the MBA requirements in order to complete their degrees.

If students have already finished MKT 602, that is preferred. However, if they have never had a course in Marketing, they are still eligible to take this program. To get their degree, they will need to complete MKT 602 at some point.

Classes are offered either online or offline, in person.

As far as a certificate, with 15 students we will start a certificate cohort.
