University of Nebraska–Lincoln admits 50 students to sales excellence program

Fifty students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln have been inducted into the Undergraduate Certificate in Sales Excellence Program within the College of Business. The cohort includes students from 12 different majors and four separate colleges.

The program, managed by the Center for Sales Excellence, focuses on developing communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. Under the direction of Chad Mardesen, the program has expanded its reach by allowing students to begin coursework as early as their first year through the Sales Communication course.

This early entry allows students to participate in the certificate program for up to four years, providing more opportunities for internships, networking, and competitions. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for recruitment by companies seeking specialized sales and marketing skills.
