Student Organizations

The American Marketing Association

The American Marketing Association provides members with valuable opportunities in the marketing field. The organization networks with established businesses and professionals and practices marketing skills through volunteer community involvement.

AMA is the largest marketing association in North America, in which members can practice, teach and study marketing worldwide. Campus branches connect with the national organization by staying involved with acclaimed seminars, topical events and the workshops that are offered. The association also provides a path of communication between all types of business majors.
