Empower the Future of Marketing and Sales
The Department of Marketing at Ball State University offers two dynamic majors: Marketing and Professional Selling. Our programs equip students with the skills to thrive in the fast-evolving marketing landscape. As a student, you develop into an analytical and strategic thinker—capable of building relationships, making informed decisions, and creating real-world business solutions. Our graduates go on to work for businesses, nonprofits, and public-policy organizations in roles such as brand management, advertising, sales leadership, retail management, and marketing research.
Ball State's Center for Professional Selling is a proud member of the University Sales Center Alliance (USCA), a distinction that connects our students with national opportunities. Our cutting-edge sales labs provide industry-leading role-play technology, ensuring that students gain practical, hands-on experience that prepares them for successful careers in sales.
Students interested in sales can also join Ball State’s Sales Team, where they engage in high-stakes sales competitions, pitching products and services to industry professionals who serve as judges. These competitions build confidence, expertise, and invaluable connections with recruiters, sales managers, and business leaders.
