BUS-230-N1 Principles of Marketing

Dear Student,

Welcome to St. Charles Community College and "Principles of Marketing." This course is designed to give you an in-depth examination of marketing and its various functions, roles, and processes. It will help to prepare you for a career in business, or just help you to better understand the world around you. Do you want to learn how to sell yourself when you apply for a job? Do you want to understand why advertising works? Do you want to understand what makes companies successful and how any organization needs to develop and delight their customer? This course will give you insights into all these questions.

The online option of this course is designed to give you a great deal of time and place flexibility in taking this course. It does require a great deal of self-discipline on your part to do the required work without having scheduled classes. We will use the computer and Internet for most of our interaction and exchanges so you will need a computer able to access the Internet. Information about how to succeed in the course will be available on the course. If you have ANY questions, you can email me on the course and I will answer them for you.

You may order the text for the class from the Bookstore either in person, by telephone or online via computer: www.stchas.edu/bookstore.
