Marketing - NYU Stern

Learn about the Marketing Concentration

Marketing is the part of the organization that serves as the interface between the firm and its customers. Marketing ensures the firm provides value to the consumer so that it can achieve its share, revenue, and profit objectives. At the broadest level, marketing is responsible for transforming consumer needs into products and services that the firm can offer profitably and for promoting and delivering those offerings to the marketplace. Marketing activities are both strategic and tactical.

Additional Notes and Resources

A Stern elective course may satisfy only one concentration requirement. For example, Competitive Analysis can count as an advanced marketing elective or as a Business Economics elective, but it cannot satisfy both requirements.
If you are interested in marketing research, you are encouraged to consider a secondary concentration in Statistics.
Explore the Digital Marketing and Luxury Marketing tracks to help you supplement your concentration with coursework in specific areas of marketing.
Stern juniors and seniors can request enrollment access into an MBA (-GB) course by filling out the MBA Course Request Form. See the form for more information. If you have questions about how a graduate course can fulfill concentration requirements, please speak with your Stern academic adviser.
