The Retail Management online degree program is designed to ensure graduates possess a solid grounding in business basics as well as a focus on the real-world application of retailing theory. The curriculum, designed and taught by practicing professionals, includes courses in marketing, retailing, consumer behavior, emerging trends and international retailing.
"Retailing is a great career option,” according to Eklou Amendah, Assistant Professor of Marketing and Coordinator of SNHU's Fashion Merchandising and Retailing programs. “Not only does retail drive our economy, but it encompasses all areas of business so it is a very well-rounded degree program. Retail, which is totally dependent on the whims and attitudes of consumers, is embracing new technologies, social and mobile media, green initiatives, and all that's new and exciting. It's an exciting and forward thinking field to work in."
