Industry Quote

“The new marketing BBA degree offered by Alfred State College will equip students with both marketing theories and practical learning. Graduates from this program will be well-prepared for a variety of marketing careers. With the tremendous evolution of the marketing industry over the last decade, the hands-on experience these students will gain gives them a step up from students with only conceptual knowledge. Having helped train recent college graduates as they enter their career, I see the importance of practical skills gained alongside a degree. I hope to have an Alfred State BBA graduate on my team!” – Kristy Green, account manager (Nielsen/Claritas).

Their attention to detail, knowledge of statistical data, comprehensive research, marketing perspective, and experience with digital, print, and insightful projection were not only brilliant but also directly aligned with the purpose of our project.”- Amy Keyes, marketing manager (ACES).
