“Pursuing a degree in Professional Sales has been greatly influential for my career. As a marketing major, being able to say that I have a background in both sales and marketing has created a lot of opportunities for me. Companies really value you being able to understand what drives business, and the Professional Sales program helped me understand this process well. Plus, I appreciate the flexibility of being able to pivot into either sales or marketing once I graduate. Pursuing my degree in Professional Sales has already created a lot of unique opportunities, it has already landed me two internships, and I can see it continuing to open more doors for me in the future.”

“Thanks to the education and opportunities at UVU, one of Utah’s top insurance providers hired me after I graduated. There are many challenges in sales. However, because I took part in UVU’s sales team I feel like I have always had a competitive edge against my colleagues.”

The classes within the program offer real-world situations and the information that I've learned from them has been invaluable. I'm grateful for what I have learned and I will take what I have learned into my future sales careers.”
