Overview
Sales is more than closing deals—it's about solving problems, building trust, and driving growth. The professional sales minor equips students with the mindset, skills, and confidence to succeed in one of the most vital functions of any organization: revenue generation.
Housed in the Department of Management and Marketing, this minor focuses on consultative selling, business development, and relationship management. Students learn to navigate complex business-to-business environments, uncover client needs, present solutions, and negotiate with integrity and impact. Through role-playing, case studies, and real-world sales challenges, students gain hands-on experience that sets them apart.
Graduates of the professional sales minor are Day One Ready to step into high-impact roles across industries—from healthcare and technology to financial services, manufacturing, and consumer goods. They are prepared to excel in positions such as account executive, sales consultant, client success manager, and business development representative in corporate, nonprofit, and government settings.
With strong communication skills, strategic thinking, and a focus on value creation, our students don’t just land jobs—they drive results from the start.
