With an eye on the burgeoning Hispanic population, HACU-member Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) in San Antonio will become one of the nation's first universities to offer a degree in Hispanic marketing, a field that is increasingly vital to advertisers as the Hispanic purchasing power soars. Joining with the American Marketing Association (AMA), OLLU will begin offering a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Hispanic marketing in fall 2007.
