Marketing in Berlin – May Term

Explore marketing in Berlin!

This program is hosted in cosmopolitan and artistic Berlin - a merging of old and new. Students will take MKT 337 - Principles of Marketing. Marketing is a process which allows an organization to create and deliver value for customers, and provides the engine for organic growth of an organization. Applying concepts through a German lens, students will gain an international marketing perspective that they can apply to their future careers. Marketing in Berlin is hosted in partnership with IES Abroad. Their 70+ year history in their study abroad field and their partnerships with more than 500 global universities and colleges speak to the quality of IES programs.


The program is complemented by cultural excursions and company visits. Landmarks include the Berlin Wall, Jewish Museum, Reichstag Building, Brandenburg Gate and more.
