Our program has a professional as well as a practical orientation. Our students develop skills which enable them to secure very attractive jobs upon graduation and to later become leaders within the corporate world.
Nothing happens until somebody sells something.
The sales function generates the revenue that enables the rest of the corporation to operate. Jobs are abundant in the field of sales. They work at leading firms throughout the U.S. and in other countries. It has been estimated that almost 10 per cent of the work force in the United States works in some form of selling. Career opportunities in sales are also expected to increase as products and services become more complex, more technical, and more expensive.
