The department offers seminars that cover those areas of marketing in which all Ph.D. marketing students should have basic competence, not only to understand the contemporary literature, but to contribute to the future of the discipline. The seminars involve in-depth consideration of various aspects of marketing. Ordinarily, a student taking these seminars will have already completed some work in quantitative methods and, perhaps, in behavioral sciences as well. The general objectives of these seminars are to: (1) discuss contemporary research problems and relevant literature, and (2) describe concepts and techniques for handling the research questions, current and future, in each field.

Renumbered Courses
Many of the half course unit seminars currently offered by the department were once part of full course unit seminars. They were divided in order to give more flexibility for students and to accommodate the Behavioral and Quantitative Tracks offered in the Marketing Degree program. As of Fall 2022, all course numbers were converted from three to four digits. For the Marketing Department, this was accomplished by adding a zero the the end of the three digit course number.
