With many business schools paying lip service to the concept of professional training, this article attempts to provide some direction for moving from an academic or liberal-arts-oriented marketing department to a professional marketing program. The transformation to a professional school perspective can be facilitated by marketing programs examining other professional schools to identify how these programs differ from their current programs. A professional school approach to marketing education meets the needs of both students and employers while providing the department with a comparative advantage as the business education environment becomes more competitive and challenging.
