I have three semesters remaining before I graduate with my degree in May of 2017. I am currently enrolled in the Strategic Marketing Immersion, an immersion utilizing a three-pronged strategy to prepare students for successful marketing and general management careers, including: theoretical and functional skills taught in the classroom; site visits to global leaders in marketing; and a semester-long project where we serve as consultants to companies on real problems.
