Do college students have a choice in which classes they take to earn a degree? Use what you have learned about the controllable and uncontrollable aspects of marketing in terms of how they might relate to course selection decision-making. Incorporate marketing terms in your response.

What will be an ideal response?


Most colleges and universities offer some courses that are "required" - the "core" courses in the major as well as social sciences - while others are "elective." These are the "product" or "service" element of the educational offering. The "price" element would be the tuition paid, less any scholarships. The promotion element would consist of the communication between the educational institution and students, such as e-mails, ads in high school career counseling offices, course catalogs, etc. The place element would consist of the on-campus location, off-campus location, and/or the online website that delivers courses that fulfill the core and elective requirements for the majors students select. A quality answer for this question should be based on how well the student is able to give specific examples.
