(Optional) Successfully complete an industry certification test representative of skills learned in Marketing Management.

The successful completion of an industry certification exam representative of the skills learned in this course (e.g., College Level Examination Program [CLEP], Principles of Marketing CLEP, Customer Service and Sales Certification, Business of Retail: Profit and Operations Retail Management Certification) will be achieved when the student applicant earns an examination score deemed “passing” by the testing organization. Qualifying examinations are those currently approved at the state level as representative of Marketing Management skills.

Students should be encouraged to attain industry certification as evidence of their computer application skill level and general employability.
