Associate I, Analyst Development Program at Liberty Mutual Insurance
The UT Dallas Marketing program has been invaluable in the pursuit of my career by providing me with a solid marketing foundation that enables me to stand out from and collaborate with my peers.
Through the UTD Marketing program, I’ve been able to fuel my passion for advertising and content creation. The program has given me the opportunity to learn from professionals while also getting to work with real clients and local companies.
I’m about to graduate, and I have secured a job with a Fortune 10 company, AT&T. I would never have been able to accomplish this without the help of UTD!
The UT Dallas Marketing program has given me the ability to merge my strengths as a business-minded individual and also as a creative through their program.
The MS in Marketing program in the JSOM has offered so many fantastic opportunities where I could learn more about the industry and meet professionals.
I chose to attend UTD because I felt I had found a community here before I ever even moved to Texas. I decided upon the Marketing program in particular because I wanted to be a part of a fast-paced, impactful business world but work creatively and be able to generate and implement new ideas rather than work in a rigid structure.
The BS in Marketing program’s required internship is important for acquiring needed experience to land that first job. It’s also a crucial part of our trilogy experience, which includes completion of an internship, 100 hours of community engagement experience and a capstone senior project course.
In May 2019, Shannon Cotts won the DFW AMA Collegiate Marketer of the Year award for her outstanding data analysis provided to startup business Fixd, a Dallas-based home warranty and service repair business.
The Professional Program in Marketing (PPM) is a program that provides supplemental workshops and professional opportunities while also encouraging participation in rigorous courses. This elite program was the brainchild of a past Capstone Senior Project Marketing (MKT 4395) course.
While a BS in Marketing program student, Claudia Kwee had a chance to conduct a research project and present it at an educators’ conference in Houston.
Capstone Senior Projects give students a taste of real-world situations. Students gain experience working with corporations in the community, showcasing their expertise and professionalism.
