The WKU Center for Professional Selling

Welcome to the WKU Center for Professional Selling. Our Sales Program is one of ~45 Fully Certified Sales Programs in the United States as a member of the University Sales Center Alliance (https://www.universitysalescenteralliance.org/), and we are one of the few programs in the Country offering a sales major, sales minor and/or sales certificate. The WKU Center for Professional Selling is the only fully certified program in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the surrounding geographic area.

Sales Center Goals

This Center was formed in July 2007 with two specific goals:

1. Education Focus:  Enhance the perception of the sales profession while preparing students for a career in sales.  Development of appropriate curriculum to include a both a major and minor in Sales.
2. Business Focus: Strengthen the relationship between WKU and Corporations.  Develop partnerships with corporations to provide real-world classroom activities in addition to internship or full-time employment opportunities.

Our program was founded in 2007 by our current Director Lukas Forbes. Since 2007, our growth has been outstanding! We have grown more than 300% in the last decade and are among the fastest growing programs on campus.  Currently, we have over 400 students who are taking one of our degree options. Within that minor and certificate, more than 30 different majors are represented, ranging from finance to public relations and agriculture to psychology.
