Who is Eligible to Join UNT’s New Product Development Scholars Program
All UNT students are eligible to apply and be admitted to the New Product Development (i.e., NPD) Scholars program.
The program is housed in the Department of Marketing and Logistics. As such, it is designed for marketing majors. But all business majors are encouraged and eligible to apply and be admitted into the NPD Scholars Program. All business majors would only need to complete one leveling course: Marketing Foundations (MKTG 3650). All business majors are already required to complete this course. Non-marketing business majors could complete the NPD Scholars program as a “minor” emphasis and earn a professional certification that could prove highly complementary to their major degrees.
The Department of Marketing and Logistics also anticipates that majors from the engineering, music, advertising, communications, economics, behavior analysis, art, computer science, journalism, health promotion and recreation, merchandising and hospitality management, psychology, and radio, TV & film disciplines should also benefit substantially from participating in the NPD Scholars Program’s apprentice-based curriculum and being certified as an NPD Scholars.
All current business-related or non-business BA or BS degree holders seeking to earn a professional certification (i.e., as an NPD Scholar) that will augment their professional qualifications and prospects for success are also eligible for admission into the NPD Scholar program.
The NPD Scholars Program is structured such that all participants can complete the program within a single year (i.e., two semesters and summer term). Moreover, the possibility of completing the program during a two-semester period is very much in play.
The Department of Marketing and Logistics encourages your application.
Multiple prestigious scholarships are available exclusively to students in the NPD Scholars Program. Visit the Marketing & Logistics scholarships page for more details.
