We are excited to announce that as of Fall 2020, the Marketing and Entrepreneurship Departments have merged into one. This move makes perfect sense in that any entrepreneurial endeavor relies heavily on the 4 P’s of marketing within that ecosystem: price, product, placement/sourcing and promotion.
Dr. Perry Drake is the Department Chair and Dr. Scott Morris is the Director of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center, the entrepreneurial division, which includes education, innovation and collaboration.
The Department of Marketing and Entrepreneurship’s mission is to provide a high-quality student learning experience that prepares students for successful careers and leadership roles in business and society. We integrate the latest marketing theory as well as experiential learning into a robust curriculum that serves both traditional students as well as business professionals in the St. Louis region. It also strives to develop entrepreneurial leaders via an interdisciplinary, multi-dimensional approach focusing on educating, innovating, and collaborating.
