Marketing & Business Technology

Program Overview

The Marketing & Business Technology program consists of courses that build an understanding of business and marketing theory. Students acquire the practical knowledge and skills for occupations related to marketing, business management, accounting, advertising, retailing, and financial services. Students compete in state-wide DECA events and participate in field trips to local business-focused colleges such as: Bentley, Babson, Brandeis and Suffolk.

Entrepreneurship skills are developed through the school store where students learn to develop business plans, maintain budgets and manage the inventory and cash flow of their retail operation. Through classroom activities students learn the importance of time management, communication and effective customer service skills.
