Doing Management Right
Dominican University’s Bachelor of Science in Marketing promotes our motto of ‘Doing Business Right’ – by which we mean that at Dominican University business students are taught how to be successful while also making the world a better place.
When it comes to marketing, we believe an ethical approach is especially critical today when modern technologies collect so much personal data on consumers. Avoiding unethical practices, however, is just the start. Effective marketing can also be a powerful tool to promote causes ranging from sustainability to justice. We teach our students to be creative and to use marketing as a positive force in business and in our society. This is what we consider “Doing Marketing Right.”
