Marketing involves the creation, communication, delivery, and exchange of value, involving multiple stakeholders, such as customers, businesses, non-profits, the environment and society. From an Instagram influencer’s posts to a vendor in an open market—marketing shapes our everyday lives.

The BBA in Marketing degree program at the Quinlan School of Business concentrates on developing difference-makers who value diversity, equity, inclusion, sustainability, and ethics in the aim to use marketing as a force for good in society.

Our program is nationally ranked: it is No. 19 in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report, 2025. We're also the best undergraduate marketing program in Chicago.
