Advising Notes
- Students desiring more depth may also take Mktg 190 or 193. These courses count as free electives outside the requirements of the Marketing Option.
- Students may take an internship (Mktg 195) in lieu of Mktg 188B (2 units).
- Mktg 188A and 188B constitute a block program and must be taken in sequence in the same semester, i.e., Mktg 188A is the first 71/2 weeks and Mktg 188B is the second 71/2 weeks.
- If a student is eligible to substitute an internship (Mktg 195) for Mktg 188B, he or she must apply for the internship section before S.T.A.R. (phone registration) begins, i.e., students cannot simply "sign up" for Mktg 195 (whether taken as a substitute for Mktg 188B or as an elective). Because internships require a rather long lead time, Mktg 188A and 195 must be taken concurrently during the same semester.
- It is recommended that students who are eligible for the Mktg 188A/195 option, "sign up" for Mktg 188A and 188B, then drop Mktg 188B if they are admitted to an internship which is related to the subject matter in Mktg 188A. The internship director and the Mktg 188 professor will rule as to the fit or proper relationship.
- Students cannot switch a Mktg 195 internship previously taken as an elective for a Mktg 195 internship taken in place of Mktg 188B.
- While a student can take up to 11 units of internships for degree credit, only one (1) Mktg 195 course of three (3) units can count in the option.
- Independent study may not be used to replace or as a substitute for a regular class. See Independent Study in this catalog.
