RESPECTED THOUGHT LEADERS
Marketing & Business Law at VSB is home to a community of scholar/teachers with a reputation for cross-disciplinary, experiential curricula and innovative research. In particular, the department is recognized for its contributions to public policy research, which is carried out in support of VSB's esteemed Center for Marketing and Consumer Insights.
Collaborative Curriculum
Our curriculum reaches across disciplines to foster a more informed view of the materials. Marketing and Management faculty pioneered the first cross-disciplinary course in VSB over ten years ago and we continue to collaborate on the curriculum today to encourage students to think broadly and more critically about the subject matter.
We leverage a variety of resources to enhance classroom teaching. Technology and web simulations are routinely incorporated into coursework, and faculty members regularly consult with VSB's corporate partners to ensure that the curriculum is relevant and reflects global business practices. Organizations like Proctor and Gamble, Vanguard, Merck, International Advertising Association and many others share their experience to further bridge theory to practice and help students understand the real-world applicability of the curriculum.
