Business Administration or Marketing: Which Course Fits You Better?
Contents
Two Related Business Courses
Business Administration and Marketing have some common ground, but they are not the same course. The biggest difference is the breadth of the subjects covered.
Business Administration
Business Administration introduces students to different business functions such as management, marketing, human resources, operations, entrepreneurship and strategy.
Marketing
Marketing concentrates more deeply on customers and markets. It can include areas such as promotion, sales, market research, branding, products and customer behaviour.
There Can Be Career Overlap
A Business Administration graduate can work in marketing, just as a Marketing graduate can work in wider business environments. The difference is mainly in the academic emphasis.
Which Should You Pick?
Business Administration may be better for someone who wants broad business exposure. Marketing may be a stronger fit for someone whose main interests are customers, sales, promotion, branding and markets.
