Program Description
The Sales minor is designed for students to develop consultative skills, which will benefit them throughout their careers. Professional selling and sales management careers help graduates learn about what the company has to offer and how to communicate with customers based on their needs. The Sales minor prepares students for professional certification in Sales. The University Sales Center Alliance (USCA), a consortium of recognized and accredited sales programs across the Nation, sponsors the Certified Sales Student designation.

Academic Advising
The objectives of the university's academic advising program are to help advisees identify and achieve their academic goals, to promote their intellectual discovery, and to encourage students to take advantage of both in-and out-of class educational opportunities in order that they become self-directed learners and decision makers.
Both advisers and advisees share responsibility for making the advising relationship succeed. By encouraging their advisees to become engaged in their education, to meet their educational goals, and to develop the habit of learning, advisers assume a significant educational role. The advisee's unit of enrollment will provide each advisee with a primary academic adviser, the information needed to plan the chosen program of study, and referrals to other specialized resources.
