Healthcare Marketing

Earn Your Degree in Healthcare Marketing

Through a unique combination of courses in science, marketing, and business, we prepare you to work in the rapidly growing healthcare field. Most major courses have small class sizes, allowing professors to give more attention to each student and allowing students to get to know one another better. Graduates from our program have gone on to become sales representatives at leading companies in the healthcare sector such as Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Medtronic.

Students are encouraged to consider studying abroad! In fact, many business students are awarded study abroad scholarships to assist with the expense of attending study abroad programs. Southern Miss Business faculty lead three programs: British Studies, Asian Studies, and Italian Studies.

The College of Business and Economic Development is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
