Best colleges for sales major?

Hi there! I've been looking into sales as a potential major for college. Does anyone have any college suggestions that are best for this major?

First, it's important to note that "sales" as a direct major is not commonly offered at many schools. However, many colleges and universities offer excellent programs in marketing, business administration, or entrepreneurship which often incorporate sales skills and might be perfectly suitable for your interest in sales.

Here are a few schools known for their business programs that offer classes or concentrations on sales:

1. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn): The Wharton School at UPenn is one of the top business schools in the country. While it doesn't offer a specific sales major, the marketing program is very comprehensive and includes a variety of courses that deal with sales related topics.

2. University of Michigan (UMich): The Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan offers an undergrad degree in Business Administration where students can take several courses on sales management and strategy.

3. University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW Madison): At the Wisconsin School of Business, students can choose a specialization in Marketing which has a number of sales specific classes.

4. Purdue University: The Krannert School of Management offers a concentration in sales and marketing through its undergraduate business management program.

5. Baylor University: Baylor's Hankamer School of Business has a Center for Professional Selling which provides students a wide array of sales-focused courses.

Remember, the college you choose should also fit your other individual needs such as location, student life, financial aid, etc. Before you decide, consider reaching out to these colleges' admissions offices or current students to get a better feel for what fits you best. And don't forget to run each college's Net Price Calculator to ensure their financial aid packages are feasible for your family.
