Sales and Marketing
Purdue University in West Lafayette
Not only does sales and marketing emphasize sales, marketing, and management, it allows students to develop an area of specialization to prepare them for entry into an agriculture-related industry of their choice. A wide spectrum of farm supply industries, service firms, agricultural marketing organizations, and food manufacturing companies are marketing-oriented and depend extensively on agricultural graduates who are well-trained in marketing tools and concepts.
This program provides the basis for entry into agri-marketing, leading to a professional career in agri-sales or marketing management.

Why did you come to Purdue: I chose Purdue because of their outstanding College Agriculture and my family. I have multiple Purdue Alumni in my family and growing up about 30 minutes from campus I always knew I would go to Purdue after high school. By the time my senior year of high school came around, the only question I had left was, “What am I going to study?” Being actively involved in FFA, I knew my passion was within agriculture and it wasn’t long before I found my place in Ag Sales and Marketing!
Favorite Purdue tradition: My favorite Purdue tradition is singing Hail Purdue during every sporting event!
