A degree in retail management from the White Lodging-J.W. Marriott, Jr. School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Purdue University prepares students for buying, merchandising, product management, management and marketing careers in traditional retail settings and e-commerce environments. Job opportunities are excellent in consumer relations, advertising, marketing, market research, sales, publicity and merchandising analysis.
Students can personalize their plans by applying to attend a program abroad or the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City during their junior year. These courses apply to degree requirements at Purdue and the FIT program, leading to an Associate in Applied Science degree in fashion business management upon satisfactory completion. Students also gain real-world experience through a required retail internship or field experience and have the opportunity for advanced industry networking by joining the National Retail Federation Student Association Purdue Chapter.
US universities use a holistic admissions review. Beyond grades and standardized test scores, they weigh the strength of your overall profile to understand who you are as a student and a person.
Profile Assessment: Business-related applicants are assessed on academic performance, quantitative preparation, communication, initiative and evidence of engagement with organisations or economic issues. Mathematics is particularly important for Finance, Economics, Business Analytics and other quantitative programs. Entrepreneurship, business competitions, investment or economics clubs, internships, case studies, market research and community projects may strengthen the profile.Advanced Placement(AP) Guidance: AP availability depends on the student's school. Relevant APs can strengthen an application and may earn university credit, but are not compulsory unless the university or programme explicitly requires them.Essays & recommendations: Personal essays and teacher/counselor recommendations give context to your achievements and help demonstrate fit with the program.Corporate RecruiterBuyerHuman Resources ManagerMarketing DirectorMerchandiserSales ManagerStore ManagerSales Promotion Specialist
