One of my favorite things about the marketing program at Adelphi is the flexibility. In one course, we partnered with Bloomberg Media, which tasked us with creating a $27 million dollar mock media plan for FIJI Water Company. During this 15-week project, I developed a strong passion for market research and marketing analytics, which helped me understand the type of career I want.
