Without sales and marketing, few businesses would succeed. There would be no customers, because no one would know that the company existed. At Globe University/Minnesota School of Business (GU/MSB) Richfield, we offer a two-year degree program that prepares students for rewarding jobs in sales and marketing. Graduates can look forward to entry-level positions in many different industries.

Building on your associate degree
Students with a sales and marketing degree can position themselves for quicker advancement by earning bachelor’s degrees in business management with a marketing emphasis. Most of the credits from a two year degree will transfer smoothly. Students who have been working in related positions may be able to receive college credit for their work experience. This allows them to reduce the number of classes they need to take and complete their degrees more quickly.
Online or on-campus ― you choose
We offer our sales and marketing degree online and at our Richfield college campus. Students who select online college are able to save time and money. They can avoid lengthy commutes and save on gas or childcare costs. Students also have the option to study part-time or take evening classes. We find that this last option is especially popular with students who work full-time. Our college provides as many options as possible to accommodate its students.
